TO THE DISCIPLE HE SAID
John 19:26-27
"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then he told the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home." KJV and ISV
John and James, the Apostles, were the sons of Zebedee (Mark 10:35 : "James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and told him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.") and if John was the disciple whom Jesus loved and if John was the disciple whom Jesus made the statement regarding His 'mother' to, then the Mother of Jesus, Mary, was taken into the home of the Zebedee's after Jesus' crucifixion.
We know that Joseph was married to Mary and since he was, why was not Joseph also taken into the Zebedee's home after Jesus' crucifixion? Where did Joseph go? Was there a divorce? Did he pass away in sleep of the grave? From the statement that Mary was taken into the disciple's own home, it makes me to think that she was without a husband but rather alone.
And this statement also leads me to believe that Mary did not have any other children since it does not mention her being taken into the homes of her other children. So, when Mary was taken into the home of the disciple whom Jesus loved, she would have brought her other children as well rather then leaving them alone in the world if she had other children. Unless her other children refused to believe upon Jesus, their brother. If she had other children. Another possibility is that Joseph divorced Mary on the account of Jesus' claim of being the Messiah, the Christ and took the other children with him after their divorce. This however was not permissible in Jewish Law regarding divorce since there was no fornication or adultery being brought to the Sanhedrin or Court for the certificate of divorce to be written. And if this is true, then this would have made Joseph and his other children to have 'sided' with the Pharisees, Sadducees, lawyers, and Sanhedrin; as well as with the other non-believing Jewish persons.
