Contextual Overview
57When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. Then Pilate ordered that it be released. 59So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean, fine linen, 60and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. He left after rolling a great stone against the entrance of the tomb. 61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.62The next day, which followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63and said, “Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64So give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come, steal him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” 65“You have a guard of soldiers,” Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.” 66They went and secured the tomb by setting a seal on the stone and placing the guard.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there was Mary Magdalene and the other Mary,.... The wife of Cleophas, and the mother of James and of Joses:
sitting over against the sepulchre; observing where the body of Christ was put, and how it was laid; for they intended to prepare spices and ointments to anoint it with; and were mourning for the death of Christ: for sitting was a mourning posture, which now they were allowed, the body being taken down from the cross, and interred by leave of the governor; for, for one that died as a malefactor, they might not use the outward signs of mourning: the canon is this w; for such
"they do not mourn, but they grieve; and there is no grieving but in the heart:''
hence these women before stood, John 19:25, but now they sat.
w Misn. Sarhedrin, c. 6. sect. 4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 27:61. Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary — The mother of James and Joses, Matthew 27:56. The mother of our Lord had probably, by this time, been taken home to the house of John. See John 19:26-27.
Sitting over against the sepulchre. — These holy women, filled with that love to their Lord which death cannot destroy, cleaved to him in life, and in death were not divided. They came to the grave to see the end, and overwhelmed with sorrow and anguish, sat down to mourn.
