Who wash there when jesus died on the cross?

While Jesus was on his way to the hill called Golgotha to be hung on a cross, Simon of Cyrene was grabbed by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus's cross for him, as Jesus was too weak from all the beatings to do so himself. By the time Jesus was hanging on the cross he was watched by a number of Roman soldiers who threw lots for his clothes. With him were two other criminals who were condemned also. There was also an abundance of religious leaders there to spite Jesus, telling him again and again that if really was the Christ he would take himself down off the cross. At a distance a group of women stood watching, these included: Mary Magdalene, Mary mother of James, and Salome. There were other women besides these, but they remain unknown. Though it is unclear, it is possible that Joseph of Arimathea was present because after Jesus's actual death the Bible states that he approached Pilate to retreive his body from the cross.
