_ _ And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus — The sense here would be better brought out by the use of the pluperfect, “which had followed Jesus.”
_ _ from Galilee, ministering unto him — As these dear women had ministered to Him during His glorious missionary tours in Galilee (see on Luke 8:1-3), so from this statement it should seem that they accompanied him and ministered to His wants from Galilee on His final journey to Jerusalem. |
