The apostle John. While on the cross, Jesus requested that John take over care of His mother. Scripture refers to John and the disciple Jesus loved. Not that He didn't love them all, but apparently He must have had a special relationship with John.
Of course not! Mary is the truthful mother of Jesus and will always be.
After the death of Jesus on the cross, Jesus told the disciples to look after her.
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.
She is our mother. We can ask her to pray to Jesus for us since she is in heaven with Him.
Mary was Jesus' mother.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was accompanied by Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Clopas, at the crucifixion of Jesus.
It's generally thought that the Apostle John was at the crucifixion, along with several women including Jesus' mother Mary.AnswerScripture tells us that John was the only disciple to be present at the crucifixion. Jesus spoke to him from the cross to ask him to look after his mother Mary after his death.
Because Mary is the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is God. We don't worship her, we just talk to her and ask her to ask Jesus to help us.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Blessed Virgin Mary was given to each of us as our mother when Jesus, on the Cross, gave her to each of us in his disciple, John. She is the mediatrix of grace. Jesus is the Mediator of all grace, and only He is our savior. But God has decreed that each of us is to be a mediator in our own way, for instance when we pray for a family member in trouble. Mary is mother of Our Blessed Lord, and mother of the Church, so in a very real way, we turn to her and ask her intercession as she is the first intercessor after Jesus. This is most clearly prefigured in the Old Testament, in the Queen Mother, who was mother of the King and would intercede with the King. The Hail Mary is the primary prayer given to us to ask her intercession.
Mary is the mother of Jesus
When Catholics pray to Mary for her intercession, it means they are asking her to pray for them and bring their intentions or requests before Jesus. Catholics believe that Mary, being the mother of Jesus, holds a special place of honor and influence in Heaven and can intercede for them in a powerful way. It is believed that Mary's prayers have a particularly strong connection with Jesus.
A:The synoptic gospels make it clear that those of Jesus' acquaintance, including his mother Mary, looked from afar off. Neither Mary nor any disciple or friend of Jesus at his crucifixion.John's Gospel says that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', alone of the disciples, stood at the foot of the cross with Mary, mother of Jesus. In this gospel, Jesus told the beloved disciple to look after Mary like his own mother.
Yes, Jesus asked St. John the Apostle to care for his mother and for his mother to be the mother of John.
