Scripture is silent on the subject. So speculation is all that's left. And that would be that they weren't there for Jesus to discharge His responsibility to His mother to so He picked the APOSTLE John because He knew He could trust him.
John the Baptist, Christ’s cousin, was at the Cross with the Blessed Mother.
Words fail me. Are you kidding????????
John the BAPTIST?!?! His COUSIN? You mean the one who was beheaded by Herod early in Jesus' ministry? What? Did he come back to life?
And why did Christ entrust His Mother to His cousin and not a sibling?
He didn't because John the Baptist was long dead. The John He entrusted Mary to was the APOSTLE John.
For all the mockery and derision thrown the way of non-Catholics over sola Scriptura, and all the bragging on how much Bible Catholics are exposed to by attending mass over the course of three years, the knowledge Catholics display concerning Scripture is downright abysmal.
This is wearying...trying to get someone who simply refuses to understand...to understand. Brainwashed...
GMTA! :o)
My mistake.
But I’ll ask again, where were Jesus’ siblings at the foot of the Cross? And why did Christ not entrust His Mother to a sibling?
