Is there any honor given to Jesus's mother mary in the Bible?

Question

BEHOLD! THE ANGELS SAID: "O MARY! GOD HATH CHOSEN THEE AND PURIFIED THEE- CHOSEN THEE ABOVE THE WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS." HOLY QURAN 3:42

Above Chapter in the Holy Quran, named Sura Maryam "Chapter Mary" (XIX) named in honor of Mary the mother of Jesus Christ (pbuh); again, such an honor is not to be found given to Mary in the Christian Bible. Out of the 66 books of the Protestants and 73 of the Roman Catholics, not one is named after Mary or her son. You will find books named after Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul and two score more obscure names, but not a single one is that of Jesus or Mary!

Is anyone out there who can give me a quote in the Bible ,which gives honor to Mary?

And if ther is any honor given to mary in the Bible ,please could you write down the ref: not the chapter no,,,

Answer 1

God honored her above all creatures by making her the mother of His Son. In honoring Mary, we are following the example of God Himself. Mary's special privileges were given to her by God, not man.

God bless,

Answer 2

Good question actually.
It says somewhere in the new testament: "Blessed art thou among women."
She is best described as the Holy Theotokus
which means "god bearer"
Theo =God
Tokus = bearer
There is no need to have a book of the Bible named after Mary, for she is far above the need for such mention, just as Jesus is.
It is said in the Bible that the Bible is the mind of Christ. It would make no sense for Jesus Christ to name a book after himself!
Consider the concept that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God.
Word, in this case was ho logos in the greek. It identifies Christ as being God's word and essence embodied in flesh, eternal with God, the second person of the trinity.
I hope this helps.

Answer 3

This would be funny if it were not so sad.

Read the Book of Luke, Hail Mary full of Grace.

Blessed are you among women.

Humans can be no higher than "Full of Grace"

When we refer to Mary we Refer to here as our "Blessed mother Mary" She is blessed. We do NOT however worship Mary.

You might learn what Christians really believe by studying our words instead of your Imam's. When I wanted to learn about Islam, I did not go to an anti-Islamic site, I went to am Islamic site. That only made my own faith stronger, I do have a lot more understanding of Muslims though and if we understand each other, we will not want to kill each other.

If you want to learn about Christians, go to a Christian site, not an anti-Christian site.

Unless you are not secure in your faith.

Peace and God Bless you!

Answer 4

Hail, Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Angle Gabriel to Mary when he announced that she was to carry the Christ who would save all man kind. Jesus honored her. The apostles honored her. She was taken up into heaven, so God honored her. Enough? or do you need more? If so, get a Bible and read it. I've read the Qu'ran. I don't believe it, but I've read it.

Answer 5

Luke 1
The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32

Answer 6

"Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee."

"Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!"

Both are Biblical. The first is Gabriel. The second is Elizabeth if I recall correctly.

Jesus's first public miracle was done in fact against his will -- "It is not yet my time," was his exact quote. And like a good Jewish mother, she looks over at the head waiter and said, "Whatever he says to do, do." She put him directly on the spot. Did Jesus look at her and say, "I said it's not time!" Of course not. He obeyed the fourth commandment. He honored her. For HER sake, Jesus performed his first public miracle, he turned the water into wine.

Answer 7

How about the greeting of the Angel Gabriel?

Hail, Mary! Full of Grace! The Lord is with you!

Or the greeting of Elizabeth when she saw Mary:

Blessed are you amoung women!

Or in the book of Revelation:

Behold! There was a woman adorned with the sun. Crowned with stars and with the moon beneath her feet.

Have you ever read the bible?!?!?

See the late Pope John Paul II encyclical on the Holy Rosary for more...

Answer 8

I am afraid everyone will take this the wrong way, but I hope not. In the 19th chapter of John, verse 26, Jesus (on the cross) looks down and sees his mother and his beloved disciple standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" and in verse 27 he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"And from that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus call Mary (his mother), "Mother", but "Woman". Although this term was closer to mother in meaning at that time and place than it is today, here in the U.S.

Answer 9

Mary is the mother of the Messiah...that's quite an honor. The reason the books Matthew, Mark , Luke, John, etc are named as they are is because those gentlemen authored those particular books.

Answer 10

The Gnostics had a gospel of Mary, but we soon put a stop to that!

There are few references to Mary in the Bible. There's the "Hail, full of grace" reference in Luke, and the "son, behold your mother" in John.

In Ephesus, there was a shrine to the Greek goddess, Artemis (same person as Diana, but in her role as the virgin mother goddess). There is a reference in Acts to Paul closing the shrine and putting the silversmiths out of business. A cult venerating Jesus's mother grew in its place. The Pope recently visited "Mary's house" in Ephesus although there's no reliable record that she was ever there.
