25 So the soldiers did these things.

But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, His mother’s sister [*Salome], *Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. [Mark 15:40] 26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the *disciple whom He loved (esteemed) standing near, said to His mother, "[Dear] woman, look, [here is] your son!"27 Then He said to the disciple (John), "Look! [here is] your mother [protect and provide for her]!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
