Mark 15:47 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:47

And Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses
Or Joseph, as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read:

beheld where he was laid:
very likely they saw Joseph, and his men, take him down from the cross, and they followed him, and observed where he laid him; or, as the Ethiopic version reads, "where they buried him"; placing themselves, as Matthew suggests, right "over against the sepulchre", ( Matthew 27:61 ) ; so that they were witnesses of his death, and of his burial, as they afterwards were of his resurrection from the dead.

Mark 15:47 In-Context

45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
