Jesus, take the wheel.

A motorist claiming to be “Mother Mary” led Kentucky cops on a high-speed chase — and told officers she was on her way to pick up baby Jesus, according to a report.

Connie Lynn Allen, 52, of Goodlettsville, Tenn., told police who eventually stopped her that she had died six years earlier and had the authority from God to speed, the News-Enterprise reported.

Allen was spotted speeding on I-65 in Elizabethtown on Saturday, and a state trooper gave chase.

The reckless driver reached speeds of more than 120 mph, according to the news outlet.

When Allen eventually was stopped, a trooper drew his weapon and told Allen to show her hands.

She refused to exit her car and the trooper broke the driver’s window, according to the report.

Allen was arrested and hit with a slew of charges including reckless driving, evading police and endangerment of a police officer.

She was being held in lieu of a $5,000 bond in the Hardin County Detention Center in Elizabethtown.
