The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
We have here an account of Christ's burial; for he must be brought not only to death, but to the dust of death (Psa 22:15), according to the sentence (Gen 3:19), To the dust thou shalt return. Observe, I. Who buried him.
Commenting on Luke 23:50-56
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. (18) Christ, being set upon by the devil and all his instruments, and being even in death's mouth, places weak women in his service, bearing in mind to immediately triumph over these terrible enemies, and that without any great endeavour.
The women also, which came - These were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, Luk 24:10. To these three, Mark, in Mar 16:1, adds, Salome; but some think that this was only a surname of one of these Marys.
