On the other hand, John's Gospel says that Mary and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' were at the foot of the cross when Jesus was crucified. We do not know who the disciple was, but the second-century Church Fathers believed him to be the apostle John, a tradition that has followed ever since. The 'disciple whom Jesus loved' is in any case unlikely to be Thomas, because Elaine Pagels detects a thread of anti-Thomas rhetoric throughout John's Gospel, making it unlikely that the author would use this phrase when speaking of Thomas.
So, in John's Gospel, Mary was at the crucifixion with an unnamed disciple who is most unlikely to have been Thomas.
St. John the Evangelist
The apostle John was the only apostle who stayed with Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the foot of the cross during the crucifixion.
John was the only apostle at the cross when he died.
It's generally thought that the Apostle John was at the crucifixion, along with several women including Jesus' mother Mary.AnswerScripture tells us that John was the only disciple to be present at the crucifixion. Jesus spoke to him from the cross to ask him to look after his mother Mary after his death.
The saint who stood with Mary at the foot of the cross was St. John the Apostle. He is often referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" and was entrusted by Jesus to care for his mother, Mary, as he died on the cross.
Yes, Mary was present at Mount Calvary during the crucifixion of Jesus. She stood by the cross along with other women, demonstrating her love and devotion to her son despite the difficult circumstances.
The apostles and Jesus were at the Last Supper of Jesus. When Jesus was on the cross, Jesus' mother Mary, the apostle John, and a few other women were there.
At the crucifixion of Jesus, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was present along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the wife of Clopas. They stood by the cross and witnessed Jesus' suffering.
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are clear in saying that no disciple of Jesus stood at the foot of the cross; those of his acquaintance stood afar off. In the Gospel of John, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. Who the disciple was, or who he was intended to be, is unknown. The second-century Church Fathers, by a process of elimination, decided that the disciple must have been John.
Yes. Galatians 2:9
John the Beloved.
No, John the Apostle did.
Mary Magdalene or Mary of Magdala was a follower of Jesus and stayed with him even while he was crucified on the cross (John 19:25) and was the first person to witness the resurrection (Mark 16:9).
