Charles Ellicott Commentary John 19:27

"Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home]." — John 19:27 (ASV)

Behold your mother!—The solemn committal is a double one. The loving heart of the disciple should find, as well as give, sympathy and support in the love of the mother. The sympathy in their common loss is to be the source of love for each other.

And from that hour.—The words do not necessarily mean, but they certainly may mean, that Saint John at once took Mary away from the scene that a mother’s heart could hardly bear; but he is himself present (John 19:35), and the whole account, brief as it is, is that of an eye-witness.

To his own home.—Compare Note on John 1:11, and Introduction, pages 369, 371. The word is used in John 16:32 of the lodging or sojourning place of the Apostles. The meaning here is that whatever was his home became hers.
