Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Stood afar off (isthkeisan apo makroqen). Same verb as in verse Luke 23:35. Melancholy picture of the inner circle of the acquaintances of Jesus and the faithful band of women from Galilee.
Seeing these things (orwsai tauta). And helpless either to prevent them or to understand them. They could only stand and look with blinded eyes.
Other Robertson's Word Pictures (NT) entries containing Luke 23:49:
Matthew 27:55
Mark 15:41
Acts 1:14
