(John 19:26-27(NAS)"When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household." John 21:7, 20 )

Since, at the time of Jesus' death, none of his fleshly brothers were "believers" yet (John 7:5) and apparently Joseph had already died, Jesus, as the first born of the household had the responsibility of seeing to his mother's care, and it is believed he gave her over to John, knowing that the faithful apostle would care not just for Mary's physical and material needs, but also for her spiritual welfare.

Reasoning:The apostle John never refers to himself by name in his book. He calls

John the Baptizer by the name 'John', but not himself. For instance, John writes: (John 21:20-24NAS) "...Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper....This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true."(John 19:35) John 13:23

Since JOHN 'wrote(or testified) these things' in this book, it is believed that HE is 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'.
