Mary the mother. Nothing further is known of this Mary than the mention made of her by the various gospel writers in connection with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Some have identified her as Mary the wife of Cleophas (see on John 19:25; cf. on Mark 3:18).

Salome. Comparison with Matt. 27:56 implies that Salome was possibly the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee. It has also been suggested that she was a sister of Mary, the mother of Jesus (see on John 19:25).
