"The only hope of redemption for our fallen race is in Christ; Mary could find salvation only through the Lamb of God. In herself she possessed no merit. Her connection with Jesus placed her in no different spiritual relation to Him from that of any other human soul. This is indicated in the Saviour's words. He makes clear the distinction between His relation to her as the Son of man and as the Son of God. The tie of kinship between them in no way placed her on an equality with Him. DA 147.1"
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
The EGW passage emphasizes that salvation is only through Christ, which aligns with the core message of Acts 4:12. The passage in DA is applying the principle of salvation through Christ alone to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
"The words, “Mine hour is not yet come,” point to the fact that every act of Christ's life on earth was in fulfillment of the plan that had existed from the days of eternity. Before He came to earth, the plan lay out before Him, perfect in all its details. But as He walked among men, He was guided, step by step, by the Father's will. He did not hesitate to act at the appointed time. With the same submission He waited until the time had come. DA 147.2"
"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."
The EGW passage directly quotes and interprets John 2:4, explaining the meaning of "Mine hour is not yet come" in the context of Christ's life and the Father's will. This is a clear and direct allusion.
"In saying to Mary that His hour had not yet come, Jesus was replying to her unspoken thought,—to the expectation she cherished in common with her people. She hoped that He would reveal Himself as the Messiah, and take the throne of Israel. But the time had not come. Not as a King, but as “a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief,” had Jesus accepted the lot of humanity. DA 147.3"
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
The EGW passage directly quotes and applies Isaiah 53:3 to Jesus, making the connection clear and intentional.
"But though Mary had not a right conception of Christ's mission, she trusted Him implicitly. To this faith Jesus responded. It was to honor Mary's trust, and to strengthen the faith of His disciples, that the first miracle was performed. The disciples were to encounter many and great temptations to unbelief. To them the prophecies had made it clear beyond all controversy that Jesus was the Messiah. They looked for the religious leaders to receive Him with confidence even greater than their own. They declared among the people the wonderful works of Christ and their own confidence in His mission, but they were amazed and bitterly disappointed by the unbelief, the deep-seated prejudice, and the enmity to Jesus, displayed by the priests and rabbis. The Saviour's early miracles strengthened the disciples to stand against this opposition. DA 147.4"
"His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
The EGW passage directly discusses Mary's faith and her instruction to the servants, which is the core of John 2:5. While not a direct quote, it amplifies the context and significance of her statement.
