At the time of, and leading up to the the Crucifixion, Jesus' brothers did not believe in Jesus as the Son of God...Jesus wanted a Christian to look after His mom...So Jesus appointed His most trusted friend, John to look after her... Besides, John was the only Apostle there...Peter and the rest of the bunch chickened out and didn't want to be caught any where near the Crucifixion... How convenient! The only ones in Jesus' "family" who weren't heroic and saintly and "trustworthy" were all the "brethren"! Didn't know anyone today was sooo cozy with the "brethren" of that day and their proclivities - even AFTER their years of such an assumed intimate family influence! Not one of them!! Like a Jewish mother would be apt to say ..."So, you were there??" And Peter wasn't "Christian"? I'm certain "arrangements" could have been made prior to this moment since the Christ could certainly foresee the ultimate faithfulness of the other disciples - esp. the one He called "Rock". No, not trustworthy at all - just the one He built His Church upon! After all, Peter had the experience of his own mother-in-law's care! Since "brethren" then were like "brethren" today, we all have a very large family indeed!!

All the Apostles except for John ran away from the Crucifixion...Jesus' brothers didn't accept Him as the Son of God...How do I know that??? Because John tells us so...

Lots of us are real cozy with the 'brethren'...Was I there??? Nope...Didn't need to be...John wrote all about it...And I read what John wrote...

I can't help it if you chose to believe that fairy tale instead of God's written words...Jesus built His church upon Himself...He is the way, the truth and the life, not Peter, not Paul, not Apollos...
