A:

This would be a reference, occurring in John's Gospel at 19:25-27, to the disciple staying at the foot of the cross with Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and other women. We can not say for certain that this really was John, since the reference is only to the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', however the Church Fathers later in the second century decided that in their opinions this was probably the apostle John.

This creates a disjunction, because the synoptic gospels make it clear that all the disciples had abandoned Jesus, and only Joseph of Arimathea remained loyal. In John's Gospel, Jesus was crucified at the sixth hour, or 12 noon, and he died at three pm. Thus John could have remained with Jesus for up to three hours, although probably less as there is no mention of John or the women when the gospel begins the detailed account of Jesus' burial.
