In John 2:4, Jesus addresses his mother as "Woman," which may seem unusual by today's standards. To dig deeper and understand the nuance of this exchange, commentaries are very useful tools. With Bible Gateway Plus, you can access premium resources such as the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary of the New Testament and learn that, in the context of the time, this term was a respectful way of addressing someone, similar to our current day use of "ma'am." |
