Who was Jesus reffering when he said woman behold your son?

Oh, dude, Jesus was totally referring to Mary when he said, "Woman, behold your son." He was basically telling Mary to look at John, who he entrusted to take care of her after he was gone. It's like a biblical version of, "Hey, Mom, meet your new son, John."


If the apostle John was the only apostle to witness the crucifixion then why did he not write it in his own Gospel?

he was to have a gift from God to have what to read in the bible He did. Jesus' arrest and trial are recorded in chapter 18; the crucifixion in chapter 19, which includes this passage: John 19:25-27 - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 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!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. [NKJV] "The disciple whom He (Jesus) loved" was John's way of referring to himself in his gospel.


How was Saint John called by Jesus to be an apostle?

According to the Gospel of St. John, the day after John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan, John the Baptist saw Jesus walk by. He told the two disciples who were with him "Behold the Lamb of God." The two disciples, Andrew and John, the sons of Zebedee, followed Jesus. Jesus turned and asked the two men "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (teacher), "Where are you staying?" So they went and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. (John 2:35-39)

No John the baptist was killed before the crucifixion. Mar 6:24 So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!" Mar 6:25 Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter." Mar 6:26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her. Mar 6:27 Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison, Jesus asked John (the disciple) to taker care of his mother. John 19:26.

There were 3 Marys at the cross when Jesus said to one of them Woman behold your son Who was he refering to?

The woman concerned was Mary the mother of Jesus. When Jesus said 'Woman behold your son' Jesus was not referring to himself as the woman's son' In the next part of the account Jesus says to the disciple who was standing by Mary, "behold, your mother' referring to the Mary. This passage comes from John's gospel, and it is generally believed that John refers to himself throughout this gospel as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'. As we are told that the disciple at the cross is this very same disciple, we can be assured that it was John who stood with Mary. We know that John was this disciple as there are parallel accounts of incidents in the other gospels whete Jesus is with Peter, James and John - but in John's gospel the same accounts use the phrase: Peter, James and "the disciple whom Jesus loved"...suggesting that John shows a little modesty in his own account. In Jewish law the oldest son was responsible for looking after a widowed mother. In Jesus' case, being the oldest son of Mary, who by that time was widowed, it was his responsibility to arrange care for her. When Jesus said 'Woman, behold your son" and to John "behold your mother" he was passing on the responsibility, after his death, of looking after Mary, to the only disciple who stuck with him - John. We are then told that John took Mary into his own home and looked after her as his own mother.

And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.


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.


Who is Jesus as pronounced by John the Baptist?

John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"John 1:35, 36 - Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" [NKJV]


How is Mary our mother?

After recalling the presence of Mary and the other women at the Lord's cross, St John relates: "When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!'. Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!'" (Jn 19:26-27). The reality brought about by Jesus' words, that is, Mary's new motherhood in relation to the disciple, is a further sign of the great love that led Jesus to offer his life for all people. On Calvary this love is shown in the gift of a mother, his mother, who thus becomes our mother too.


Where in the Bible does Jesus ask John to take care of Mary?
