Get over yourself...

Mar 14:50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

They all left except Peter...On the way to the trial, Peter stayed a ways back to avoid being numbered with Jesus...Peter was fearing for his life and told 3 lies in the process...

John was the only apostle to show up at the crucifixion...Jesus' mother and a bunch of other women were there and off in the distance were some of Jesus' followers...Their names are not given...That's all scripture...

Perhaps you can show some scripture that shows the apostles were at the Crucifixion, besides John...

=============================================================

I see you did not want to take the bet, because, like you've seen, the Bible does not tell us the apostles were not at the crucifixion.

The first Bible text you quoted in your post, was, of course, not talking about the crucifixion, and has no bearing whatsoever on that discussion concerning who was actually at the crucifixion.

The Bible does not say that "John was the only apostle to show up at the crucifixion" - you made that up.

A more careful reading of those earlier posts might prove helpful to you.    I did not say "the Bible says the apostles were at the crucifixion", I said "the Bible does not say they were not at the crucifixion".    They are two different things altogether.

The Bible does not include a comprehensive list of everyone who was at the crucifixion (either close-up, or at a distance on the periphery), any more than it includes a list of everyone who was at the "Sermon on the Mount".

You should huff and puff and wave a $100 bill around in the trailer court!
