John Study Notes—Chapter 19

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 19:25
  
  his mother’s sister: See study note on Mr 15:40.
  
  Clopas: In the Bible, this name is mentioned only here. It is understood by many scholars that Clopas was the same person as Alphaeus mentioned at Mt 10:3; Mr 3:18; Lu 6:15; and Ac 1:13. As other examples in the Bible show, it was not uncommon for an individual to have two names that were used interchangeably.—Compare Mt 9:9; 10:2, 3; Mr 2:14.
