Who stood near by cross as Mother of Jesus?

Previous Chapter: Why did Christ called his Mother "Women"?


During the Ministry of Jesus Christ, one notable thing is, Christ never allowed anyone to follow him with his earthly relationship, even his mother and brothers could not follow him, and He sent them away by asking "Who are my mother and my brothers?" - 31.And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32.And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you. 33.And he answered them, Who are my mother and my brothers? 34.And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers! 35.For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother - Mark 3:31-35

Until the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, his brothers not able to follow him because they looked at him as an ordinary man - 2.Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. 3.So his brothers said to him, Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4.For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world. 5.For not even his brothers believed in him - John 7:2-5

And after Christ's resurrection, and on the day of Pentecostal, Christ's brothers also filled by Holy Spirit, and one of his brothers James called himself as "Servant Jesus Christ" - James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings - James 1:1

 

So, When Bible says, Christ traveled along with his Disciples, its understandable that his earthly father Joseph or mother Mary or his brothers are not traveled with him, And when Bible says, Christ took Peter, James and John with him, its understandable that his family members are not with him, In the same way when Bible says, the crowd shouted "Hosanna" as Christ entered Jerusalem, that means his family members are not among the crowd that shouted "Hosanna".

And every one knows that the brothers of Christ was not there at the time Christ Crucifixion, because all four gospel books did not mention anything about them, And every one know that Joseph, the husband of Mary was not there at the time Christ Crucifixion, because Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all four gospel books did not mention anything about Joseph, in the same way first three Gospel books are announcing that "Mary the mother of Jesus" also not present at the time of Christ Crucifixion.

The Book of Matthew says, when Christ crucified "among many women there were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee looking on from a distance", so the Book of Matthew indirectly telling that "Mary the mother of Jesus" was not there at the time of Christ Crucifixion, If "Mary the mother of Jesus" one among the woman, no doubt, her name will be first in the list - 54.When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” 55.There were also many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, 56.among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee - Matthew 27:54-56

Mark, the one who wrote the second gospel book also mention that "Mary the mother of Jesus" is not present at the time of Christ Crucifixion, When Mark said there were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome looking on from afar, He indirectly telling that Mary the mother of Jesus was not there at the time of Christ Crucifixion, If "Mary the mother of Jesus" was one among them, it's obvious her name will be first in the list - 37.And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. 38.Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39.So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, Truly this Man was the Son of God! 40.There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, 41.who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem - Mark 15:37-41

In the book of Acts, Luke explicitly mentioned that Mary the mother of Jesus one among the women who were waiting for the anointing of Holy Spirit - 12.Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13.And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14.All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers - Acts 1:12-14

But the same Luke, did not say anything about "Mary the mother of Jesus" at the time of Christ crucifixion, he just mentioned women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things, If "Mary the mother of Jesus" was one among them, Luke would have wrote about "Mary the mother of Jesus" as he mentioned in the book of Acts - 46.And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. Having said this, He breathed His last. 47.So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous Man! 48.And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. 49.But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things - Luke 23:46-49

When three Gospel books says "Mary the mother of Jesus" not there at the time of Christ's crucifixion, How could John write this? when John says "Mother of Jesus", Is he talking about Mary or Heavenly Father 25.Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26.When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, Woman, behold your son! 27.Then He said to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 28.After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst! 29.Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30.So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit - John 19:25-30

And also, If Christ need to speak these things, someone had to be there with broken Heart? who was that? when Stephen was stoned to death and saw heaven opened, did he see Christ with Mary? No! he saw Christ with the God of Heaven - 55.But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56.And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God - Acts 7:55-56

If that is the case, Did Apostle John saw heavenly Father standin next to the cross with the broken heart?
