Her presence fulfills the prophecy of Simeon in <a href="/luke/2-35.htm">Luke 2:35</a>, where he foretold that a sword would pierce her soul. This moment is a profound testament to her faith and devotion, as she witnesses the suffering of her son. The location, Golgotha, is outside the city walls of Jerusalem, a place of execution, emphasizing the shame and suffering Jesus endured.and her sister The identity of Mary's sister is debated among scholars. Some suggest she could be Salome, the mother of James and John, making them Jesus' cousins. This familial connection underscores the close-knit relationships among Jesus' followers and highlights the support system present even in His final moments.as well as Mary the wife of Clopas Mary, the wife of Clopas, is a lesser-known figure, but her presence at the crucifixion indicates her devotion to Jesus. Clopas is sometimes identified with Cleopas, one of the disciples who encountered the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus (<a href="/luke/24-18.htm">Luke 24:18</a>). This connection suggests a broader network of disciples and followers who were deeply impacted by Jesus' ministry.and Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene is a prominent figure in the Gospels, known for her deliverance from seven demons (<a href="/luke/8-2.htm">Luke 8:2</a>) and her role as a devoted follower of Jesus. Her presence at the crucifixion and later at the resurrection (<a href="/john/20.htm">John 20:1-18</a>) highlights her significant role in the early Christian community.

This Clopas is usually identified with Alphaeus. (Comp. <a href="/matthew/10-3.htm" title="Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;">Matthew 10:3</a>; <a href="/matthew/27-56.htm" title="Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.">Matthew 27:56</a>, and Introduction to the Gospel according to St. Matthew, p. 41) The question arises, Are there three or four women mentioned here?--i.e., Is "Mary the (wife) of Clopas" sister of Mary the mother of our Lord? or does St. John mean by "His mother's sister" an unnamed woman, who may not improbably be his own mother, Salome, whom he nowhere mentions? The question cannot be answered with certainty; but upon the whole, the balance of evidence inclines to the view that we have four persons here mentioned in two pairs: "His mother and His mother's sister; Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene." As early as the second century, the Peshito Syriac version adopted this view, and inserted "and" after the word sister. (Comp. Notes on <a href="/matthew/28-1.htm" title="In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.">Matthew 28:1</a> and <a href="/luke/24-18.htm" title="And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?">Luke 24:18</a>, and especially the Excursus on The brethren of the Lord in Lightfoot On Galatians, pp. 247-282.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 25. - But there were standing by the cross of Jesus. Matthew says (Matthew 28:55; <a href="/mark/15-40.htm">Mark 15:40, 41</a>) that many women stood afar off beholding these things, and amongst them Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James (the less, i.e. the son of Alphaeus) and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children, expressly identified here as elsewhere with Salerno, "women who followed him from Galilee" (<a href="/luke/23-55.htm">Luke 23:55</a>), and ministered unto him. The παρὰ of this verse implies that, in the courage of their love and tenderness, they had drawn nearer to the cross, led on as it would seem by his mother herself, whom John with fuller knowledge mentions as the most important member of one group. John adds, and the sister of his mother, then (it must be admitted without any conjunctive καὶ) he adds, Mary the (wife) of Clopas, and Mary Magdalen. Κλωπᾶς is by almost all admitted to be identifiable with חַלְפַי, Alphaeus, of <a href="/matthew/10-3.htm">Matthew 10:3</a>. Consequently, "the Mary (of Clopos)" is none other than the mother of James the less-known disciple, as well as of others. And this second Mary is identically the same as the Mary spoken of in Matthew and Mark by slightly different phraseology. The question arises - Does John here speak, then, of four women? or does he say that this Mary was the sister of the Virgin Mary? If "Mary the wife of Clopas" be the sister of the Virgin, then James the less, Joses, and others are cousins of our Lord. This hypothesis has been used by those who identify these men with the "brethren of the Lord;" but it is rendered improbable by the fact referred to twice over in the synoptists and John, that his "brethren did not believe in him," and the growing certainty that "James the brother of our Lord" was not "James the less." Moreover, it is improbable that two sisters should have the same name. The other supposition is that the third woman mentioned by the synoptists (namely, Salome, the mother of Zebedee's sons) was the sister of the mother of Jesus. Against this is the non-appearance of the καί between the second and third names. This absence may be simply due to the fact that John mentions "two and two," singling them out from "the many women," according to his wont. Against it, Godet and others have urged that we have no other hint of the relationship; but of many similar facts throughout the Gospel we have only the slenderest indications - take, for instance, the identification of Judas (not Iscariot) with Lebbaeus and Thaddseus; Nathanael with Bartholomew - and there is much which makes the identification natural. It is after the manner of John to omit the name of Salerno, as he always does his own throughout the Gospel and Epistles. But the entire narrative from beginning to end is illumined by the fact that John was the near relative of Jesus. The ὅν ἠγάπα flashes into light and justification at once. Very much, both in the synoptic and Johannine narratives, receives a deeper meaning. The early friendship, the private ministry of our Lord, with John as his principal companion, the request of Salome, and the exquisite incident which now follows, all receive a richer meaning when it becomes clear that Salome was so nearly related to Jesus. In this conclusion Wieseler, Luthardt, Lange, Westcott, Sears, Moulton, Schaff, and others coincide, though Meyer and Hengstenberg take the other view. Hengstenberg thinks the tradition of three Marys is enough to counterbalance what he calls a learned device! Assuming, then, that John was so dear a friend, so near a relative, we understand better what follows. <a href="/commentaries/john/19-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Near παρὰ (para) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_3844.htm">Strong's 3844: </a> Gen: from; dat: beside, in the presence of; acc: alongside of. the τῷ (tō) Article - Dative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
