How Apostle John De Beloved Became The Second Caretaker

At the cross, just before the death of Jesus Christ:

1. Joseph was dead.

2. The wife of Joseph, Salome, was dead.

3. Jesus Christ was about to die.

4. The half-brothers (Simon, Thomas, James) were actively engaged in evangelism and ministration as Apostles.

5. Other Apostles, Disciples and Saints were far away, because the chief priest, elders, rulers of synagogue and the misguided Israelites were hunting for them, levelling false accusations against them, to arrest them (including Joses, who was one of the Disciples).

6. Apostle John De Beloved was able to come close, because he was working in the office of the high priest.

7. Apostle John De Beloved was the only one close and present at the cross.

Therefore, Jesus Christ handed His mother, Mary, to Apostle John De Beloved, who thenceforth became the second caretaker of Mary.
