Who among the remaining 11 Apostles were present during Jesus' crucifixion?

[Edit]

Apostles

There were 12 apostles until Judas's death. Leaving eleven. Mathias replaced Judas. Paul was chosen as the thirteenth after Christ's ascension.

Answer

None of the remaining aposles were present during Jesus'crucifixion. All the cowardly apostles fled when Jesus was arrested. Only Peter did not have a chance to flee, only because he himself was being interrogated.

Answer

While the disciples all certainly fled when Jesus was arrested it is an assumption that none were present at the crucifixion.

Luke 23:49 (King James Version)

49And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

John 19:26-27 (King James Version)



26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

The disciple whom Jesus loved was specifically known to be John. So we can say categorically that at least that disciple was explicitly named as being present. As for who may have been included in 'all his acquaintance' though we are not specifically told the names it would not be unreasonable that the disciples who were living were there - especially when there were a number of women reported as present - the point being that for the men to not accompany them and be there as well would have been socially disgraceful to say the least. The way the details are reported in the Gospels is also strongly suggestive of eyewitnesses. Since they are different from what John records, it is unlikely he told them all the details, but that they saw it for themselves.
