Mary, his mother. But this depends upon how you mean "follower". Despite inferences to the contrary in the New Testament (e.g. Mk 3:21), it is clear that Mary loved and followed her son. Jesus' sister (Salome; Mk 6:3; 15:40; 16:1) is the other most likely first female follower. Another possible answer is Mary "Magdalene". Aside from the supposition that Mary may have even been Jesus' wife, the written record would demonstrate that she was "first" among Jesus' followers (Esp. the Gospel of Philip), male or female. Even in the New testament where she is intentionally diminished in importance, she appears more often with Jesus than any other woman and is the first to see him after resurrection (Jn 20:11-18).

Jesus didn't call female disciples in The Bible. Numerous women ministered to him and the disciples. When the Bible talks about them it talks about them separately, ... and the women were there also. .....

Who was the person who raced to the tomb Jesus was buried in with peter and heard that Jesus was not there?

"Peter..., and that other disciple",raced to the garden tomb.after Mary found it empty:-John 202Then she [Mary] runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the otherdisciple,whom Jesus loved,and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.3Peter therefore went forth, and that otherdisciple, and came to the sepulchre.4So they ["Peter..., and that other disciple",] ran both together: and the otherdiscipledid outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.8Then went in also that otherdisciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.This otherdisciple,was the onewhom Jesus loved [v.2] ,John 2120 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whomJesuslovedfollowing; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said...v.21... .to Jesus, Lord, and what shallthis man do?22 Jesussaith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is thatto thee? follow thou me.23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: .yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, whatis thatto thee?..24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.It is reasonable to assume this disciple "whomJesusloved" outlived all the others.All the disciples died earlier than normal through martyrdom except John who died naturally of old age. This other disciple would therefore have to be John son of Zebbedee. (The phrase " otherdisciple"is only found in the Gospel of John, who did not want to mention himself by name because of humility.),

Whom did Jesus tell 'Woman this is your son'?

In John's Gospel, Jesus told "the disciple whom Jesus loved" to care for his mother, Mary, and told his mother, this is your son. We do not know who "the disciple whom Jesus loved" was, but a tradition beginning in the second century is that this was John. This instruction is missing from the synoptic gospels, where the disciple was not present at the crucifixion.

Was Mary of Magdala a disciple of Jesus?

A disciple is actually a follower who allows himself to be discipled by his teacher. Jesus had many followers, then and today, who refused to be discipled. As Mary Magdalene was one of the first people at the tomb, it seems likely that she was a disciple.


Who took care of Mother Mary after Jesus?

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!"

(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.
