Matteo 27:61 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:61

And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
The wife of Cleophas, and the mother of James and of Joses:

sitting over against the sepulchre;
observing where the body of Christ was put, and how it was laid; for they intended to prepare spices and ointments to anoint it with; and were mourning for the death of Christ: for sitting was a mourning posture, which now they were allowed, the body being taken down from the cross, and interred by leave of the governor; for, for one that died as a malefactor, they might not use the outward signs of mourning: the canon is this {w}; for such

``they do not mourn, but they grieve; and there is no grieving but in the heart:''

hence these women before stood, ( John 19:25 ) , but now they sat.

Matteo 27:61 In-Context

59 E Giuseppe, preso il corpo, lo involse in un panno lino netto,

60 e lo pose nella propria tomba nuova, che aveva fatta scavare nella roccia, e dopo aver rotolata una gran pietra contro l’apertura del sepolcro, se ne andò.

61 Or Maria Maddalena e l’altra Maria eran quivi, sedute dirimpetto al sepolcro.

62 E l’indomani, che era il giorno successivo alla Preparazione, i capi sacerdoti ed i Farisei si radunarono presso Pilato, dicendo:

63 Signore, ci siamo ricordati che quel seduttore, mentre viveva ancora, disse: Dopo tre giorni, risusciterò.
