While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”

Zech. 6:12

HEB 4:16 Let us come therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, in order that we may procure mercy and find grace for seasonable help [or “help in good time”]

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Second
“Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
Note here that Jesus specifically uses the word “woman” (Greek – gunai) and not “mother” when addressing Mary.
Here, Jesus uses the Greek word meter for “mother“.
Honor your father and your mother
Third
“Woman, behold, your son!”
“Behold, your mother!”
At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” which is translated, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
