Who all were the women standing at the cross?

Mat 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

Mar 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Mar 15:41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

Luk 23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Joh 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

1. Mary Magdalene

2. “Mary the wife of Cleophas”

7. “the women that followed him from Galilee”

Who all were the women present at the tomb?

At the closing of the tomb:

Mat 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

Mat 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.

Mar 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

1. Mary Magdalene

2. “the other Mary” aka. “Mary the mother of Joses”

At the opening of the tomb:

Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.

Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Mar 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.

Luk 24:9 And returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

Luk 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

Joh 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.

5. “other women that were with them”

During the Yeshua’s time of ministry:

Luk 8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

Luk 8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

Luk 8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

1. “Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils”

2. “Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward”

3. Susanna

4. “many others”

Who is “Mary the mother of James and Joses?”

Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Act 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

- Clearly Mary the mother of James and Joses is also the mother of Jesus, Simon and Judas, is she not?

Act 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

Who are these women? Can they be further identified?:

1. “the other Mary” - Mary, the mother of Jesus, James the less, Joses, Simon and Judas and their sisters.

2. “Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils”

3. “Mary the wife of Cleophas” aka “Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark” – the wife of Simon Peter, Cephas, Cleopas, Cleophas, the son of Jona

4. Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus

5. “The mother of Zebedee’s children”

6. “Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward”
