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 found out from the centurion, he gave the corpse to Joseph.

46 After he bought some fine linen, he took Him down and wrapped Him in the linen. Then he placed Him in a tomb cut out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

47 Now Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where He was placed.
