Limiting ourselves to the New Testament ? Yes, there is a solid reason. It
would be necessary to explain why Jesus upon the cross broke the mosaic law
by entrusting Mary, not to her sons and daughters, his own siblings, but to
the young disciple called John who was not a member of the family of either
Joseph or Mary.
