Question
What was the exact Hebrew name in which Jesus called Mother Mary? or the original name instead of "woman" in King James/English Bible versions.
thank you,

Answer
Thank you for writing, Dr. Thomas.  In John 2:4 Jesus uses the word “woman” and the Stong’s Concordance number that corresponds with that Greek word is 1135.  Perhaps Jesus reminds his earthly mother of her humanity by using that word.  At different times, the Holy Spirit gives insights when we need it, but I haven’t understood anything particular about this verse.
