Contextual Overview
57 That evening a rich man named Joseph came to Jerusalem. He was a follower of Jesus from the town of Arimathea. 58 He went to Pilate and asked to have Jesus' body. Pilate gave orders for the soldiers to give Jesus' body to him. 59 Then Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a new linen cloth. 60 He put Jesus' body in a new tomb that he had dug in a wall of rock. Then he closed the tomb by rolling a very large stone to cover the entrance. After he did this, he went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other woman named Mary were sitting near the tomb. 62 That day was the day called Preparation day. The next day, the leading priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63 They said, "Sir, we remember that while that liar was still alive he said, ‘I will rise from death in three days.' 64 So give the order for the tomb to be guarded well for three days. His followers might come and try to steal the body. Then they could tell everyone that he has risen from death. That lie will be even worse than what they said about him before." 65 Pilate said, "Take some soldiers and go guard the tomb the best way you know." 66 So they all went to the tomb and made it safe from thieves. They did this by sealing the stone in the entrance and putting soldiers there to guard it.

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.
