Jesus died on the cross.
His mother Mary, Mary of Magdala, Mary the wife of Cleopas and John were with him.
He told Mary that John will be his son and he told John to take care about Mary as his mother from now. Both of them felt sad but may be happy as well that Jesus asked them to take care of each other.
Jesus was thinking about God his father and his mother and John.
The story tells us that Jesus was a loving person thinking about the others. Mary and John loved Jesus.
Well done Cesar, I can see that you have thought very carefully about your answer. Remember, during this time of Lent we should try extra hard to love others just like Jesus did.

Jesus died on the cross. His friend John, his mum Mary, Mary’s sister, Mary of Magdala and Mary the wife of Cleopas were here with him when he died on the cross.
Jesus told Mary she will now become John’s mum and he told John that Mary will now become his mother. I think they were very sad because Jesus died.
Before he died, Jesus was thinking about God, who will always love him.
