We have seen that most of the people mocked Jesus in his death. It is refreshing to find, even at the scene of the crucifixion, some reverent and believing souls. One of these was a Roman centurion1.
There were the women, faithful followers of Jesus who, though not previously mentioned in Mark's account, had ministered to Jesus' needs during his great Galilean tour. It is providential that the faithfulness of the women is mentioned in connection with the story of the cross. Throughout the history of the Christian movement, women have played a significant part in the service of Christ. Without their faithfulness and their generosity and their willingness to serve, the progress of the gospel throughout the world would have been greatly impeded.
