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.

Who was the apostle that stayed at the foot of the cross with Jesus?

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.


Did Alphaeus Marry Jesus' mother Mary after the death of Joseph?

No. Mary did not marry after the death of Joseph. On the cross, Jesus gave John the care of his mother, Mary. John Chapter 19 versus 25-27 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son."Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (NAB) Mary had no husband or children other than Jesus. Jesus respected Jewish law and would not have broken the law regarding the care of his mother. A husband or other child would have had the responsibility to care for Mary.


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.

From that time on, this disciple took her into his home."


Was John the only disciple at the crucifixion of Jesus?

A:There is no easy answer to this question. The synoptic gospels make it clear that those of Jesus' acquaintance, including his mother Mary, looked from afar off; there was no disciple or friend of Jesus at his crucifixion. However, John's Gospel says that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', alone of the disciples, stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. In this gospel, Jesus told the beloved disciple to look after Mary like his own mother. There was speculation from the time the fourth gospel was written as to just who this beloved disciple was. As with all the New Testament gospels, this gospel was originally anonymous. Later in the fourth century, after authors had been attributed to the other gospels, the Church Fathers noticed that the apostle John was not mentioned in the last gospel. They decided that the answer must be that this disciple was John. They then decided that the same disciple must have been the author of the gospel, being too modest to use his own name for this most important and beloved disciple. Thus, on the basis of speculation alone, the disciple at the foot of the cross was John, but only in the gospel now known as John's Gospel.
