    Matthew 27:54-56 - When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God." Many women were there watching from a distance... among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

    John 19:26 - When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son", and to the disciple, "Here is your mother."

    John was the only of the 12 disciples that directly observed it. There was also a large crowd of people of course but there was just 1 of the 12 disciples there.

    Addition:

    Sorry, didn't read your whole question.

    Also specifically named are Mary Magdalene and Jesus' mother Mary.

    The Bible also states there were a lot of people who witnessed the crucifixion including Roman soldiers and Jewish religious leaders, but it doesn't give specific names for most of them.

    We also know the crucifixion took place because it was commanded by the authorities and if it hadn't been carried out the soldiers would have been executed for failing to do so.

    There's more but I don't feel like typing it all right now.

    None of the male disciples as they all feared man more than God and were in hiding for their lives. Remember how Peter "denied Him thrice?" They were not really great men until they repented and even then had faults. This is why Mary Magdalene who was the first to see the Savior after His Resurrection had to go and tell the men!

    The "Beloved Disciple" who Is Mary Magdalene was at the foot of the cross. And those that were there were all named, read the scriptures. Mary the mother and Mary Magdalene. Magdalene means "Tower of the Flock" as she was the most spiritual of the Apostles. Never a prostitute as lied about by the Catholic Church. And she was of Bethany and Martha and Lazarath's sister. There has been Much mistranslations and omission of the Bible throughout History.

    See King James who burned all of the Welch Bibles to make his own version...

    According to divinely preserved authenticated early Christian scriptures (ordered burned by Bishop of Alexandria, Athaniniaus at the political Council of Nicaea, because they equalized women with spiritual teachings of Christ, Mary Magdalene Was the "Beloved Disciple!"

    Revelations was not even the last book in the Bible and if you know God there is always more that he gives us as we ask. This is why He said to be truth seekers! Go do early Christian research and you find that celibacy was added to preserve the church's wealth in the 3rd century. Don't believe Dogma. Jesus had to be married to be a Rabbi...

    There's an assumption that "the disciple Jesus loved" who is present and mentioned in John 19 is the disciple John. But this assumption is not supported by the actual text of the Bible.

    If Bible literalists were actually literal in their reading of the Bible, they would have to admit that there's no way of knowing the identity of the disciple mentioned in John 19. Especially for those literalists who know that the Gospel of John was not necessarily written by the disciple John.

    But it's traditional to just make stuff up or base conclusions on the loosest kind of reasoning, and since most Christians don't actually read the Bible, the traditions become as good as facts for them.

    Mary Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalena. Joseph of Arimathei a rich Jewish man took the Body to the tomb at severe risk to himself. Gnostic accounts do not or should not be considered they have a point to disprove Gospel and are written much later!

    As far as names, the Bible only gives a few, although hundreds watched it. The three Mary's were there, John the Apostle was there and Joanna and Salome. I am not sure if any others are mentioned by name or not.

    John was in the vicinity of the Cross, as Jesus directly spoke to him.

    But Peter observed from a distance and wept bitterly in remorse for his denial. He later repented and was completely restored by Jesus.
