240. Women as Witnesses to the Burial. Mt. 27:61; Mk. 15:47; Lk. 23:55

Following Joseph and Nicodemus to the place of burial, there were also certain women who had come with the Lord Jesus from Galilee—Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, the wife of Joseph (Joanna, Salome, and others). They sat opposite the tomb and watched where the Lord was laid, and how his body was placed.

Returning to the city, some of them prepared spices and ointments; and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
