Dec 26, 2013 at 2:15 comment added Andreas Blass @PhilipSchaff One indication of "most faithful to Christ" is that St. John was there during the crucifixion; as far as I know, there's no indication that any of Christ't other male disciples stayed with him to (what appeared to be) the end.

Aug 3, 2012 at 20:33 comment added Philip Schaff Hi Ignatius, & thanks for the response. Is the statement in the response that John the Apostle was "the most faithful to Christ" based on the descriptions of him in the Gospel According to John as "the disciple whom Christ loved," or something else? Maybe I'm missing something. Cheers.
Aug 3, 2012 at 13:29 comment added Ignatius Theophorus @Jomet So? Simply because they are not listed that does not mean that they were not kinsmen. John the Baptist was also omitted. Frankly, I think those are the kin of Christ on Joseph's side while John was related through Mary. It wraps everything up rather nicely.
