Since John is noted as the one whom Jesus loved, it would indeed be fitting that John would be entrusted to take care of His mother. One of the points in John's gospel, is the scene at the Sheep pool, where Jesus cures the lame man. John notes that the building has 5 portico's, and is still standing. Thus indicating the early composition of major portions of his gospel. These would then written prior to the destruction of Jerusalem about the year 70, not 100-200 years later.
