OET (OET-LV) And a_great multitude of_the people was_following with_him, and of_women who were_mourning and were_lamenting him.
OET (OET-RV) Following along behind them, was a large crowd of people including women who were wailing for Yeshua and chanting,
ἠκολούθει & αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ γυναικῶν
/was/_following & ˱with˲_him /a/_great multitude ˱of˲_the people and ˱of˲_women
The women were part of the large crowd. They were not in a separate crowd of their own. Alternate translation: “a great crowd of people, which included women, was following him”
Note 1 topic: writing-background

Luke provides this background information to help readers understand what happens next, when Jesus speaks to these women. It might be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Now the crowd included women who were mourning and wailing for Jesus”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
ἐκόπτοντο
/were/_mourning
See the note to mourning at 8:52, and see how you translated this word there. It could mean that the women were pounding on their chests as a sign of grief, as was customary in this culture, or it could mean more generally that they were expressing their sorrow over what was happening to Jesus. Alternate translation: “pounding on their chests”
ἠκολούθει & αὐτῷ
/was/_following & ˱with˲_him
Here, the word following is not figurative. It does not mean that these people were Jesus’ disciples. Alternate translation: “were walking along behind him”
