Was Mary Magdalene at Jesus crucifixion?
The Gospels of Matthew and Mark say that Mary Magdalene was among the women who watched form afar off; none of the acquaintances of Jesus was actually at the crucifixion. Luke's Gospel is similar, although it only says that the women watched from afar off. John's Gospel says that Mary the mother of Jesus was actually at the crucifixion, but does not mention Mary Magdalene or any other women.
Where was Joseph during Jesus' crucifixion?
A:Joseph is not even mentioned in the first gospel to be written, Mark's Gospel, and only appears in Matthew and Luke for the nativity and childhood years of Jesus. Otherwise there is no mention of him in the gospels. Some say that he must have died shortly after the birth of Jesus. However, it would have to have been after Jesus was 12 because he is mentioned being lost by Mary and Joseph in Luke 2.A:Joseph is thought to have been dead by the time of the crucifixion since Jesus handed the care of his mother Mary to one of the disciples before he died.
What were the words of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion?
This depends on which gospel you choose to follow on the subject. the Gospels According to Matthew, Mark and Luke say that the disciples were not present at the crucifixion - so Jesus said nothing to them from the cross. John's Gospel says that the"disciple whom Jesus loved" was, alone of the disciples, present at the crucifixion. Jesus told the disciple that he must look after Jesus' mother, Mary, as if she were his own.
Where does it say in Mark's Gospel that Jesus carried his cross?
A:Mark's Gospel does not actually mention Jesus carrying his cross, although it is assumed he did at first, until Simon of Cyrene, who was passing by, was ordered to carry the cross for Jesus (Mark 15:21). This is followed by both Matthew and Luke, which are more or less directly dependent on Mark. It is in John's Gospel that we find Jesus carrying the cross all the way to the site of his crucifixion - John 19:17.
Where was Joseph during crucifixion?
A:Joseph is not even mentioned in the first gospel to be written, Mark's Gospel, and only appears in Matthew and Luke for the nativity and childhood years of Jesus. Otherwise there is no mention of him in the gospels. Some say that he must have died shortly after the birth of Jesus. However, it would have to have been after Jesus was 12 because he is mentioned being lost by Mary and Joseph in Luke 2.A:Joseph is thought to have been dead by the time of the crucifixion since Jesus handed the care of his mother Mary to one of the disciples before he died.
How long did Jesus minister?
Jesus ministered for approximately three years before his crucifixion. His ministry consisted of preaching, teaching, healing the sick, performing miracles, and spreading the message of love, forgiveness, and salvation.
How many Saints were present at the crucifixion?
The answer depends on which gospel you prefer to use. The synoptic gospels say that no one of Jesus' acquaintance was present at the crucifixion itself, but women watched from afar, with Luke leaving open the possibility that some of the disciples were with those women watching from a distance.Mark's Gospel is clear in that none of the disciples was at the crucifixion. Women looked on, but only from afar off: among them, Mary. Since this was the earliest of the gospels, and the other New Testament Gospels used it as their major sources for information on the life of Jesus, Mark ought to be the most accurate gospel.Matthew's Gospel also says only that women looked from afar off: among them, Mary and Mary Magdalene.Luke's Gospel says that those of his acquaintance stood afar off with the women.The Gospel According to St John is the only gospel to place anyone among Jesus' family and followers at the crucifixion itself. It says that the mother of Jesus, her sister (also called Mary) and Mary Magdalene stood by the cross with the disciple whom he loved. Nowhere is the disciple whom Jesus loved identified, but Christian tradition holds him to be the apostle John
Did Jesus pray for Himself?
A:On the evening before the crucifixion, the synoptic gospels have Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemene that God would take the cup (his destiny) from him. John's Gospel differs by simply having Jesus say a triumphant prayer before reaching the Garden, saying that his time had come.
How many New Testament writers mention the death of Jesus?
AnswerThe four gospels and Acts of the Apostles mention the death of Jesus. However, Matthew, Luke/Acts and John are all dependent on Mark's Gospel, so do not provide independent records of what really happened.Paul mentioned the crucifixion in his epistles, but some scholars say that Paul seems to have been talking about a spiritual crucifixion, so we can not really say for certain that the crucifixion he mentioned was the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.There is an implied reference in Hebrews, where Jesus "endured the cross", but the Book of Hebrews only wrote of Jesus as the high priest in heaven, so again may have referred to a purely spiritual crucifixion.The authors of the other New Testament books did not mention the death of Jesus, and seem to have been unaware of the actual circumstances of his death. But for the author of Mark's Gospel, we would not really know about the crucifixion under Pontius Pilate.John of Patmos also mentions "...our Lord was crucified" in Revelation 11:8.

How many years did Jesus perform healing miracles?
-----------------------Scholars say that the account in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) appear to have been performed within one year, thus leading to the belief that the crucifixion took place in 30 CE.They say that the account in John's Gospel must have taken three years, as the Gospel mentions the Passover each year. This led to the belief that the crucifixion took place in 33 CE.
Who was the apostle who stayed with Mary by the cross?
AnswerThe synoptic gospels say that no one of Jesus'acquaintance was at the crucifixion, and that Mary and others watched from afar off. Since no one of Jesus' acquaintance was at the crucifixion, neither Thomas nor Mary could have been. 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.
