Mary the mother of Jesus was a wife, mother, educator and follower of Jesus.
The Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Prov. 22:6) she did in every way, judging from the knowledge her son had even at the age of 12.
As a Hebrew woman who was a mother had much to do with the training of her children. She had the responsibility to work hard for the good of the household and bring honor not only on her husband but also to God. Jesus as well as his other siblings were taught by his mother and father, not only the Jewish law from the scriptures, but also the trade of their father, (boys) and for any daughters she had, the responsibilies for a wife, mother and educator for that time.
Jesus on the other hand was trained as a carpenter. ( His fathers trade) However his main purpose was, as is stated, in (Hebrews 10:9) “Look! I have come to do your will.
(God's) Also John 18:37 says, Jesus answered: “ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth."
His role or vocation, or life's work was without a doubt, different then his mother's. They were both assigned a job by God, and they both carried them out to the full.
