Mother Of John
'And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was...the mother of Zebedee's children.' Matthew 27:55-56
Bible Scholars agree that the name of the Beloved Disciple's mother was probably Salome. They base this belief on the fact that the passage in Mark 15:40, a parallel quote refers to her by name. It is further conjectured on reliable grounds that she is probably the sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
From the scanty account given of her in the Gospel narrative, it is evident that she, like her two sons, John and James, was a devoted follower of Jesus, who was present at the Crucifixion of Jesus and assisted with His entombment. Mathew accounts that on one occasion she came to Jesus with her two sons desiring a thing or two of him.
In Matthew 20:20, And he said unto her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith unto him, 'Grant that these two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left in thy kingdom.' But Jesus answered, 'Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I shall drink of and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?'
Both John and James, says Matthew, assured Jesus that they were able to drink of His bitter cup. And Jesus agreed that, 'Ye shall drink indeed the cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give but shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.'1
