Luke 23:49

‘And all his acquaintance, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.'

In what contrast were the crowds with His disciples and the women who followed Him. They too had stood afar off seeing these things. They were probably afraid to come too close in case they were arrested. But the way this is expressed suggests that they would continue to remember it. They saw these things. The cutting short of the sentence without an explanatory final clause such as we find in Luke 23:48 indicates that with them the effect continued. They would not easily forget.
