Where was Mary when Jesus was crucified?

Answer 1

The apostle John, the one "whom Jesus loved."

A:The synoptic gospels make it clear that those of Jesus' acquaintance, including his mother Mary, looked from afar off. Thus there was no 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.

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.

Answer 2

Answer
The earliest of the gospels, The Gospel According to St Mark, is clear in that none of the disciples was at the crucifixion. Women looked from afar off: among them, Mary.

The Gospel According to St Matthew says only that women looked from afar off: among them, Mary and Mary Magdalene.

The Gospel According to St Luke says that those of his acquaintance stood afar off with the women, not at the cross.

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. Nowhere is the disciple whom Jesus loved identified, but Christian tradition holds him to be the apostle John.

Answer 3

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are quite clear in that Mary stood afar off to watch the crucifixion.

The Gospel of Luke says that the acquaintances who came from Galilee stood afar off. A great company of people and of women, whom Jesus addressed as duaghters of Jerusalem, followed him to the crucifixion, bewailing and lamenting. The most straight forward reading is that Mary was among those that stood afar off, but this is uncertain. Certainly, the author of the Gospel of John did not seem to have read this as saying where Mary stood.

The Gospel of John says that Mary stood at the foot of the cross with the "disciple whom Jesus loved".

Answer 4

In Mark 15:40, Mary Magdalene and the other women were standing afar off when Jesus was crucified. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke were closely based on Mark, so Matthew 27:55-56 and Luke 23:49 are in agreement.

John's Gospel is only indirectly based on Mark and it is the gospel that shows the greatest elaboration. In John 19:25, Mary "stood by the cross" with her sister, another Mary and Mary Magdalene.

Answer 5

The apostle John the beloved, was the only apostle standing with His mother Mary when He died.

Answer 6

Besides Our Blessed Mother, others that are reported to have been present at the cross were Mary Magdaline, Mary Cleophas (the mother of St. James the Lesser) as well as St. John the Apostle.
