Contextual Overview

33 And when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 35 And some of those that stood by, when they heard it, said, Look, he calls Elijah. 36 And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let [him] be; let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down. 37 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom. 39 And when the captain, who stood by across from him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40 And there were also women watching from far: among whom [were] both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and were serving him; and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There were also women looking on afar off,.... At some distance from the cross, observing what was said and done;

among whom was Mary Magdalene; who had received great favours from Christ:

and Mary the mother of James the less; or "little", so called to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee, and because he might be little of stature: nor was it unusual with the Jews to distinguish persons after this manner: so we read z of R. Jesa,

זעירא, "the little", and of Samuel, הקטון, "the little" a, which some have thought to be the Apostle Paul, so called from the littleness of his stature:

and of Joses; or "Joseph", as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read;

and Salome; the mother of Zebedee's children, James and John;

:-. This was a common name among the Jews; Herod had a sister and a daughter of this name; and the daughter of Herodias, who demanded the head of John, the Baptist, was of this name; and it is the same with Shalom: we read b of one Imme Shalom, or mother Shalom, wife of R. Eliezer, and sister to Rabban Gamaliel. Salome, with the Ethiopians c, is said to be Mary's midwife, and to accompany Christ, with Mary, and Joseph, when they fled into Egypt.

z Zohar in Exod. fol. 63. 2. & passim. a T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 28. 2. & 29. 1. b T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 116. 1. c Ludolph. Lex. Ethiop. p. 525, & Castell. Lex. Polyglot, col. 3767.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 15:40. Joses — Some MSS. and versions read Joset, others Joseph. Matthew 27:56.
