It was the women who stayed at the cross (Luke 23:49), who brought spices to
embalm Jesus (Luke 23:56), and who were present at the tomb when the first news of the resurrection was given (Luke 24:1).
He does, however, say that Mary of Magdala, Joanna, Mary the mother of
Jesus, and others were the first to arrive at the empty tomb Sunday morning; logic would conclude that these were the same women who watched from a distance, followed the body to the tomb, went home to prepare spices and ointments for
embalming, and brought them on Easter morning.
