Best Answer
A:In the synoptic gospels, none of the disciples stood at the foot of the cross. They are quite clear in stating that those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off (Luke 23:49).


John's Gospel, although loosely based on Luke, changes the account of the crucifixion to place the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' at the foot of the cross with Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jesus and her sister. The second-century Church Fathers announced that the beloved disciple must have been John, son of Zebedee, and the Christian Church has subsequently accepted this attribution.
