The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. - Luke 23:55
Luke was a good dude. He mentions women often, which back in those days would have meant a whole lot!
These women were followers! They traveled 75 miles with Jesus. And it seems like they were the only ones courageous enough (or maybe they knew no one would care) to stay with You until the end.
But, as much as I think Luke is trying to respect women and show how devoted they are, I think he’s setting up evidence for what is to come. Knowing that the women will be the first to see the empty tomb he wants to let us know - they saw You go in!
