The Apostle John When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. (NKJV) John refers to himself as the "disciple Jesus loved" several times in his gospel in order to keep the readers' focus on Jesus, and not call attention to himself.

No. Mary did not marry after the death of Joseph. On the cross, Jesus gave John the care of his mother, Mary.

In the gospel according to John, chapter 19, his mother came to see him on the cross. He asks John to care for his mother in his absence.

Did John fall with Mary to the right of the cross facing Jesus on Calvary?
There is nothing in scripture that says anything about this. The only reference to John with Mary the mother of Jesus at the cross was Jesus' plea to John. Jesus, dying on the cross, turned to John (the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' i.e. his best friend) to ask him to look after Mary as he would his own mother. It would have been the duty of Jesus, being the oldest son of Mary, to provide for her in this way in Jewish law. Similarly he asked Mary to accept John as her new 'son' who would look after her. We are told that from that moment John took Mary into his own home.
How do you diagram the sentence Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Bethlehem?
Thought I'd take a stab at this... Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem on a donkey, Mary was going to give birth to Jesus. After Jesus was born they moved to egypt to escape Herod, a Roman King
There were 3 Marys at the cross when Jesus said to one of them Woman behold your son Who was he refering to?
The woman concerned was Mary the mother of Jesus. When Jesus said 'Woman behold your son' Jesus was not referring to himself as the woman's son' In the next part of the account Jesus says to the disciple who was standing by Mary, "behold, your mother' referring to the Mary. This passage comes from John's gospel, and it is generally believed that John refers to himself throughout this gospel as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'. As we are told that the disciple at the cross is this very same disciple, we can be assured that it was John who stood with Mary. We know that John was this disciple as there are parallel accounts of incidents in the other gospels whete Jesus is with Peter, James and John - but in John's gospel the same accounts use the phrase: Peter, James and "the disciple whom Jesus loved"...suggesting that John shows a little modesty in his own account. In Jewish law the oldest son was responsible for looking after a widowed mother. In Jesus' case, being the oldest son of Mary, who by that time was widowed, it was his responsibility to arrange care for her. When Jesus said 'Woman, behold your son" and to John "behold your mother" he was passing on the responsibility, after his death, of looking after Mary, to the only disciple who stuck with him - John. We are then told that John took Mary into his own home and looked after her as his own mother.
