Context: Mat 27:55 There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him;
Mat 27:56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Mat 27:57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
Mat 27:58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
Mat 27:59 And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud,
Mat 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
Mat 27:61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the sepulchre.
