This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Among which was Mary Magdalene - (See on Luk 8:2).
and Mary the mother of James and Joses - the wife of Cleophas, or rather Clopas, and sister of the Virgin (Joh 19:25). See on Mat 13:55, Mat 13:56.
and the mother of Zebedee’s children - that is, Salome: compare Mar 15:40. All this about the women is mentioned for the sake of what is afterwards to be related of their purchasing spices to anoint their Lord’s body.
