This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 27:55, Mat 27:56. The Galilean women.
And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus - The sense here would be better brought out by the use of the pluperfect, “which had followed Jesus.”
from Galilee, ministering unto him - As these dear women had ministered to Him during His glorious missionary tours in Galilee (see on Luk 8:1-3), so from this statement it should seem that they accompanied him and ministered to His wants from Galilee on His final journey to Jerusalem.
