How many women came to the tomb?

John does not report that ONLY Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. Failing to mention someone does not necessarily mean that no one else was present.

In fact, you can see that Mary was not alone. In the next verse she says: "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they put him!" If Mary was alone, then who is WE? Clearly more than one person went with Mary. John just doesn't mention them.

There was but one woman who came to the tomb

John 20:1 - Mary Magdalene went to the tomb

There were two women who came to the tomb
