Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 19:27

Behold thy mother! - One who is to be to thee as a mother. The fact that she was the mother of Jesus would secure the kindness of John, and the fact that she was now intrusted to him demanded of him affectionate regard and tender care.From that hour ... - John seems to have been in better circumstances than the other apostles. See John 18:16. Tradition says that she continued to live with him in Judea until the time of her death, which occurred about fifteen years after the death of Christ. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 19:25-27

John 19:25-27. Now While Jesus, hanging on the cross, suffered all manner of insults and sorrows; there stood by the cross his mother “Neither her own danger, nor the sadness of the spectacle, nor the reproaches and insults of the people, could restrain her from performing the last office of duty and tenderness to her divine son on the cross. Grotius justly observes, that it was a noble instance of fortitude and zeal. Now a sword (according to Simeon’s prophecy, Luk 2:35 ) struck through... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 19:25-37

159. The death (Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:25-37)Jesus’ mother, Mary, had followed him to the cross and stayed by him during his ordeal. Among those who comforted her were John and three women: Mary’s sister Salome, who was the wife of Zebedee and the mother of the apostles James and John; another Mary, who was the wife of Clopas and the mother of James and Joses; and another Mary, who came from the town of Magdala in Galilee and was known as Mary Magdalene. These... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 19:26-27

John 19:26-27. Woman, behold thy son!— We have elsewhere observed, that Joseph was probably dead some time before. See on ch. John 2:1; John 6:42. And as Jesus now shewed the tender concern he had for his mother, in committing her to the care of St. John; so this concern which he expressed for her support, must have affected her no less than if he had called her mother; which some have thought he might not choose to do, to avoid exposing her to the abuses of the populace by a discovery of her... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 19:17-30

D. Jesus’ crucifixion 19:17-30The unique material in John’s account of Jesus’ crucifixion includes the controversy about the superscription over Jesus’ cross (John 19:19-22) and several references to the fulfillment of prophecy (John 19:24; John 19:28-29; cf. John 19:36-37). John was also the only Gospel writer to record Jesus’ care for His mother (John 19:25-27), His sixth cry before His death (John 19:30), and the piercing of His side (John 19:34). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 19:26-27

Jesus addressed his mother by saying, "Dear woman" (Gr. gynai, cf. 2:4). This was an affectionate and respectful way of speaking to her. Mary’s grief must have been very great (cf. 2:38). Even as He hung dying an excruciatingly painful death, Jesus compassionately made provision for his mother. The language Jesus used was legal and quite similar to the terms used commonly in adoption proceedings. [Note: Carson, The Gospel . . ., p. 616.] His action indicates that He was the person responsible... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 19:1-42

The Crucifixion. The Burial1-3. Inside the Prætorium. Scourging and mockery by the soldiers (Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:15). It might be supposed from Mt and Mk that the scourging was only the ordinary preliminary to a Roman execution, but Luke 23:16 suggests that it was an act of mercy to Jesus intended to save His life. This the Fourth Gospel fully confirms, showing how Pilate tried to work upon the compassion of the multitude. The present narrative elucidates, without in any way contradicting,... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 19:27

(27) Behold thy mother!—The solemn committal is a double one. The loving heart of the disciple should find, as well as give, sympathy and support in the love of the mother. The sympathy in their common loss is to be the source of love for each other.And from that hour.—The words do not necessarily mean, but they certainly may mean, that St. John at once took Mary away from the scene that a mother’s heart could hardly bear; but he is himself present (John 19:35), and the whole account, brief as... read more
