The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are clear in saying that no disciple of Jesus stood at the foot of the cross; those of his acquaintance stood afar off.
In the Gospel of John, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. Who the disciple was, or who he was intended to be, is unknown. The second-century Church Fathers, by a process of elimination, decided that the disciple must have been John.

A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), it appears that none of Jesus' supporters or friends stood at the foot of the cross. The earliest of the gospels, The Gospel According to St Mark, only says that women looked from afar off: among them, Mary. The Gospel According to St Matthew also says 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. So only Luke has anyone nearby other than the women, and even then only afar off. The Gospel According to St John says that the mother of Jesus, her sister (also called Mary) and Mary Magdalene stood by the cross with the disciple whom he loved. The identity of this disciple has long been debated, but most Christians think that he was the disciple John.

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.
Mary was not the actual biological mother of John the Apostle but was the biological mother of Jesus. Mary became the mother of John when they stood at the foot of the cross. Before he died, Jesus told Mary "Behold thy son" and to John "Behold thy mother." Jesus wanted to be sure that his mother would be taken care of when he died.
According to the Bible, Simon and Joseph took Jesus down, while the Virgin Mary wept at the foot of the cross.
