Friendship: The Marys, and Joseph of Arimathaea, for Jesus

Source: Nav

Matthew 27:55–61 And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him. / Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons. / When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.
Matthew 28:1–8 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. / Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it. / His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
John 20:11–18 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb, / and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet. / “Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”
