Johannine Mariology in John 2:1-11 and Jn 19:25-27

This study examines the two Johannine pericopes most central to Mariology, the Wedding at Cana (Jn 2:1-11) and the scene at the foot of the Cross (Jn 19:25-27), arguing that although rarely read together, they form a coherent portrait of Mary's role in the Fourth Gospel. Through close attention to the Gospel's symbolic use of "woman," the wine and Sinai covenant imagery, and the Johannine revelation formula, the author shows Mary functioning as representative of faithful Israel, the first believer and true disciple of Jesus, and, from the Cross, the mother of the new community of believers embodied in the Beloved Disciple.
