The Witnesses

Mark 15:39–41  (ID: 2945)

Near the end of Mark’s Gospel, we learn about the witnesses to Jesus’ crucifixion. The centurion was there out of duty but recognized the unusual nature of Jesus’ death. The women remained with Jesus as a demonstration of their devotion. Alistair Begg invites us to witness the surprising details of the crucifixion and to respond with wonder, belief, and commitment to Christ.

40There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
