The story of the disciple, at the foot of the cross occurs only in John's Gospel. The other gospels say that Mary and those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off, leaving no room for Mary or any disciple to be near the cross.
During the second century, the Church Fathers also wondered who this disciple was, whom Jesus loved. They noticed that the apostle John was never mentioned in this gospel, although John was one of the most important disciples in the other gospels. They then came to the conclusion that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John. They took this a step further. The gospel had been written anonymously and they needed to establish, to their own satisfaction, who probably wrote it. They surmised that the author, out of modesty, had chosen not to write about himself in the book and that this gospel was written by the same disciple, John.
In fact, we do not know who wrote this gospel, in spite of it now being called John's Gospel, and we do not know who the author had in mind when he wrote of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. The unnamed disciple was not John the Baptist, the apostle John or any real person. He was really a literary creation of the Gospel's author, as evidenced by the quite contradictory stories in the other gospels.
No, Jesus was speaking to John His disciple (Later Apostle). John the Baptist had been beheaded some time before Jesus was crucified.
When Jesus said "Woman, behold your son," he was referring to the disciple John, asking Mary to view him as her own son to care for her in his absence. It symbolized his concern for their well-being and to ensure they were taken care of.
The name of Jesus aunty was Elizabeth, she was the mother of John the baptist.
Mary is the mother of Jesus, Elizabeth is the mother of John the Baptist.
It is John the baptist , as his mother Elizabeth and Mary were cousins.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of Our Lord Jesus, not St. Elizabeth. St. Elizabeth is the mother of St. John the Baptist. Mary was probably born in Jerusalem, as her father was a priest in the temple.
If your question is asking "Who"? was our Lord's cousin, then the answer is John the Baptist. In Luke 1:36, Mary, the mother of Jesus and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were relatives - cousins, therefore Jesus and John the Baptist were 2nd cousins.
We read of her standing at the foot of His cross:John 19:25-27New King James Version (NKJV)Behold Your Mother25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
Elizabeth (Elisabeth) was not a prophetess. She did belong to a rather noteworthy family. She was a descendant from Aaron, wife of Zachariah the priest, mother of John the Baptist. She was a cousin of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Elizabeth followed at a distance.
The name of Jesus aunty was Elizabeth, she was the mother of John the baptist.
The bible says that Elizabeth the mother of John the baptist was his aunt.
A:According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus was related to John the Baptist. His mother Mary was the cousin of John's mother Elizabeth. There are several reasons to doubt this, including that John's Gospel says that the Baptist did not even know Jesus.
