Mark 15
At the cruxificion of the Savior, Mark paints an interesting picture in that -
"There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem." (New Testament | Mark 15:40 - 41)
And even at His burial -
"...Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid." (New Testament | Mark 15:47)
Matthew also records -
"And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children." (New Testament | Matthew 27:55 - 56)
I was touched by the fact that Mark and Matthew both thought it important enough to record in their records the nature and compassion of women. Women seem to have a greater capacity for compassion, love, and service.
