John's gospel names Simon Iscariot as Judas' father. (This was not the same Simon who became a disciple of Jesus and was renamed Peter.)
No, the only apostle at the foot of the cross was St. John.
John 1:42 - And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone). [NKJV]JOHN 1:42 - He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter). (NASB)
John and his brother James were partners with Simon Peter and his brother Andrew.Matthew 4:18 - And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.Luke 5:9, 10 - For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. [NKJV]
John was a disciple of Jesus. As time went on Jesus, changed John's name to Mark. Just as he did with Simon of Jonas; He change his name to Peter.
