John Gill Commentary Luke 23:49

"And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things." — Luke 23:49 (ASV)

And all his acquaintance
That were related to him in a natural, or in a spiritual sense, or both, as his own mother, and beloved disciple John, who were both present, (John 19:26) or those that were known unto him, and familiar with him, who attended on his ministry, and often conversed, and were intimately acquainted with him:

and the women that followed him from Galilee ;
among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Joses, and Salome the mother of Zebedee's children:

stood afar off ;
from the cross:

beholding these things ;
with wonder, as well as looking upon their dear suffering Lord, with aching hearts, and flowing eyes.
