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 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

46 Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.
