Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 23:55

"And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid." — Luke 23:55 (ASV)

And the women also.—Here again we come upon traces of St. Luke’s informants. The other Gospels speak of one or two by name. He knows that others belonging to the company of women who came with Jesus from Galilee (note the recurrence of the same description as in Luke 23:49) had taken part in the work. They had stood within view of the cross. They saw the body taken down. They followed (it was not far) to the garden owned by Nicodemus.
