“As a result of the lifting up of Jesus on the cross, the Beloved Disciple and the mother of Jesus become one. The disciple leads the mother eis ta idia. The situation described in the prologue, where the Word came eis ta idia but was not received (ou parelabon), has now been reversed. Because of the cross, and from the moment of the cross, a new family of Jesus has been created. The mother of Jesus, a model of faith, and the disciple whom Jesus loved and held close to himself are one as the disciple accepts the mother (elaben … autēn).” (Page 145)

“The quality of their love for one another will mark them out as disciples of Jesus (13:35; see 15:8).” (Page 67)
