Jesus and John at the Last Supper, by Valentin de Boulogne. The Gospel of John makes references to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23, [27] John 19:26, [28] John 21:7–20), [29] a phrase which does not occur in the Synoptic Gospels. In the text, this "beloved disciple" is present at the crucifixion of Jesus, with Jesus' mother, Mary.
Christ in the House of Martha and Mary by Tintoretto, 1570s. Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary, in art usually called Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, and other variant names, is a Biblical episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament which appears only in Luke's Gospel (Luke 10:38–42), immediately after the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37).

Luke's account of Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha puts Jesus solidly on the side of the recognition of the full personhood of woman, with the right to options for her own life. By socializing with both sisters and in defending Mary's right to a role then commonly denied to Jewish women, Jesus was following his far-reaching principle of ...
Having crossed the Jordan, Jesus teaches the assembled crowd in his customary way, answering a question from the Pharisees about divorce. C. M. Tuckett suggests that Mark 8:34-10:45 constitutes a broad section of the gospel dealing with Christian discipleship and that this pericope on divorce (verses 1-12) "is not out of place" within it, although he notes that some other commentators have ...
Jesus actually forbids any hierarchy of relationships in Christian relationships. All three synoptic gospels record virtually the same teaching of Jesus, adding to its apparent significance: [166] [167] The Apostle Paul calls on husbands and wives to be subject to each other out of reverence for Christ—mutual submission. [168]
In Acts 18:24–28, Luke reports the couple explaining Jesus' baptism to Apollos, an important Jewish-Christian evangelist in Ephesus. Paul indicates Apollos is an apostle, [ 12 ] : pp.230–231 an "eloquent speaker" who had a "thorough knowledge of the Scriptures".
Jesus will again address her as "Woman" in John 19:26, [i] when he entrusts his mother to his disciple John, "Woman, behold, your son." [3] The gospel account of Jesus being invited to a wedding, attending, and using his divine power to save the celebrations from disaster are taken as evidence of his approval for marriage and earthly celebrations.
[6] [7] Christians view Jesus as a role model, whose God-focused life believers are encouraged to imitate. In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is the Messiah and one of God's highest-ranked and most-beloved prophets. Islam considers Jesus to be neither the incarnation nor the Son of God.
