Mary In Book of Acts?

[Kamalayka]

The Gospel of John:

Chapter 19, verses 25-27
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother,* “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple (John) took her into his home.*

Mary becomes “the mother of John.”​

Then, in Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 12, when the angel helps Peter escape from prison.

Book of Acts, 12:12
When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.

Verse 17
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the brothers about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.

Jesus is said to have James and various other “brothers” in the four Gospels.​

Why would Peter go to this house, unless there was someone of significance or importance to the Church there?

Yes you are right we are all important.

Praise be to My Father.

First of all, since you put Jesus in quotations I assume you know Catholics do not agree with Jesus having siblings. Read this for further information on the subject: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=14965
If Jesus had brothers anyways, why would Jesus give Mary to John? Brothers can mean cousins as well, the aramaic word was the same. And Joseph was older then Mary, and could have already had children as well.

This is what Haydocks bible commentary says on the verse you are asking about:
He went into another place. Did not think fit to stay in the city of Jerusalem. St. Chrysostom takes notice, that upon another occasion, when he was delivered by an Angel out of prison, he went boldly the next day, and preached in the temple. (chap. v. 19.) but there he was ordered by an Angel so to do; now to stay without such orders, would have been rashly to expose himself, and in a manner tempting God. (Witham) — Peter retired to another place, that he might not rashly expose himself to future danger. It is not just to depend on supernatural assistance, when human means are adequate to the effect. (St. Chrysostom, hom. xxvi.) — St. Peter desires they will announce his miraculous deliverance to James, the then bishop of Jerusalem, and to the Christians, that they might see the effect of their prayers for him. St. James had, beyond a doubt, ordered general supplications to be made by all the brethren for St. Peter. (Bristow)

She is Mother to us all, she is the new Eve. To imply this act proves Mary (bbhn) had no children is a huge stretch.

Please view some other threads here as there are stronger arguments to assert Mary (bbhn) had no other children without distracting the wonder gift My Brother gave me in My Mother (bbhn)

You need to understand that the Apostle John and John Mark or Mark the Evangelist are two different people.

From Wikipedia:

Mark the Evangelist is the traditional name of the author of the Gospel of Mark. Tradition identifies him with the John Mark mentioned as a companion of Saint Paul in Acts, who later is said to have become a disciple of Saint Peter. John Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas (Mark’s kinsman) on Paul’s first missionary journey. After a sharp dispute, Barnabas separated from Paul, taking Mark to Cyprus. Later, Paul called upon the services of Mark. and Mark was named as Paul’s fellow worker.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is last mentioned by name in Acts 1:14.

Mary seems to have been a popular name at that time; the Mary mentioned in Acts 12:12 is generally understood to be a different person.

I have heard that the home of John Mark was a common meeting place for the early Christians. It was suggested that it was the location of the Upper Room and the Last Supper.

I think this is speculation, but it is reasonable.
