This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Had come with him (ēsan sunelēluthuiai). Periphrastic past perfect active of sunerchomai.
Followed after (katakolouthēsasai). Aorist active participle of katakoloutheō, an old verb, but in the N.T. only here and Act 16:17. It is possible that they followed after Joseph and Nicodemus so that they “beheld the tomb,” (etheasanto to mnēmeion), and also “how his body was laid” (hōs etethē to sōma autou). First aorist passive indicative of tithēmi. They may in fact, have witnessed the silent burial from a distance. The Syriac Sinaitic and the Syriac Curetonian give it thus: “and the women, who came with Him from Galilee went to the sepulchre in their footsteps, and saw the body when they had brought it in there.” At any rate the women saw “that” and “how” the body of Jesus was laid in this new tomb of Joseph in the rocks.
