{Followed him and ministered unto him} ((886b)olouthoun kai
di(886b)onoun aut(9369)). Two imperfects describing the long Galilean
ministry of these three women and many other women in Galilee
( Lu 8:1-3 ) who came up with him (hai sunanab(8373)ai aut(9369)) to
Jerusalem. This summary description in Mark is paralleled in  Mt
27:55f.  and  Lu 23:49 . These faithful women were last at the
Cross as they stood afar and saw the dreadful end to all their
hopes.
