Can you imagine how Mary felt, seeing the baby she born being tortured and crucified?

Mary has support from others who loved Jesus: Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. We see these two faithful women again at the tomb of Jesus’s resurrection.

John referred to himself in this way 4 times in his gospel (John 13:23, 19:26, 21:7, 21:20).

We also know it was John because he tells us he was at the crucifixion (John 19:35).

Bible scholars say Jesus did not call Mary “mother” here so as not to cause her even more pain and suffering.

We are unsure why Jesus chose John to care for his mother when Mary had other children. We do know that John will outlive everyone. John was the only disciple that we know of that was at the crucifixion. This could be honoring him.

“Here is your mother” signifies the new relationship John and Mary would have.
