Mary MagdaleneAnother answer:John 21:20, 21 - Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"The disciple Peter asked about had "leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper" and asked who would betray Him.John 13:23, 24 - Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke. Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?""The disciple whom Jesus loved" was John's way of referring to himself in his gospel. Simon Peter was inquiring about John.[Quotes from NKJV]
None of the New Testament gospels mentions James standing at the cross with Jesus. In fact, the synoptic gospels quite clearly say that none of the disciples was there. On the other hand, John's Gospel says that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was at the foot of the cross, but does not identify this disciple. If John's Gospel is right, this could have been James, although Christian tradition says that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was the disciple John.
Off hand, I would say that of the twelve disciples, John and Peter were His two closest friends. John, in his gospel called himself "the disciple whom Jesus loved". Peter was the one who after he had denied Jesus three times, was asked by Jesus: "Peter do you love me?" three times.
The only gospel that mentions Christ assigning the care of his mother to one of his disciples at the crucifixion is the Gospel of John. Specifically, in John 19:26-27, Jesus entrusts his mother Mary to the disciple whom he loved, traditionally understood to be John himself. This moment highlights the close relationship between Jesus and this disciple and emphasizes the importance of familial care.
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.
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.
Disciple means pupil or student, and the disciples were people who chose to follow Jesus and to listen to his teaching. They called him rabbi, or teacher. The twelve disciples were followers of Jesus whom he had chosen to become his core group, the people he talked things over with and depended on.
Love your fellow believer.For Jesus Christ said: "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." As recorded in the gospel of John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, in chapter 13 and verse 35.
According to the Holy Bible, the disciple whom Jesus specially loved, was John, but He chose them all - even Judas!
Usually on foot with His disciples.
------------------------ John's Gospel talks of a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' but does not identify that disciple. The second-century Church Fathers noticed that whenever the book talks about the disciple, it does not mention John and, on this evidence alone, decided that this disciple must therefore be John. Like all the New Testament Gospels, John's Gospel was written anonymously, but the Church Fathers came to the conclusion that the author must be the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and, since they had decided this disciple to be John, the Gospel author was the disciple John. The second century reasoning was merely conjecture and is not accepted by modern biblical scholars. If the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was closest to Jesus, we still do not know who that disciple was.
This refers to John (later writer of the Gospel of John), who was the youngest disciple.
