When on the torture stake, Jesus entrusted Mary to the care of the apostle John, which Jesus would not likely have done had Joseph still been alive. ​ — John 19: 26, 27.
Īsi pirms savas nāves Jēzus uzticēja rūpes par Mariju apustulim Jānim. Jēzus, visticamāk, to nebūtu darījis, ja Jāzeps joprojām būtu dzīvs.
