Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
Those named as present at the crucifixion were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children, or sons. They were women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to Him, and they watched His crucifixion from a distance. This belongs to the account of Jesus' followers seeing Him die and laying Him in the tomb, when their hopes of His kingdom were crushed. They remained among the last at the cross and afterward lingered grieving at His tomb.
Mary Magdalene had been freed from the demons that controlled her, and through Christ's grace had become a devoted learner and servant. Her presence at the cross was part of a life transformed by Christ, for she later went to the tomb and was the first to proclaim that He had risen. The account of Christ's death to which this belongs is an example of His self-sacrificing missionary work for the world.
