I only have time for one quick comment but here is the verse you are referring to.
John 19:26
Quote:
King James Version
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Quote:
New International Version
26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"

Both of these translations have Jesus saying it to his mother by name. I don't know what the Greek says but i'm guessing it also uses a word to say mother as adding the word mother would have been exposed from the Greek version along time ago.
