⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

³ and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

²⁵ These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the `wife' of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own `home'.
