Luke 24:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:10

It was Mary Magdalene
Out of whom Christ had cast seven devils, who was a sincere penitent, a true believer in Christ, and an affectionate lover of him, and to whom he first appeared:

and Joanna;
the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, one that had been a follower of Christ, and had ministered to him of her substance; see ( Luke 8:2 Luke 8:3 )

and Mary the mother of James;
called the less; and also of Joses, and Simon, and Judas, the brethren, or kinsmen of Christ; this Mary, being the wife of Cleophas, or Alphaeus, said ^F11 to be the brother of Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of our Lord:

and other women that were with them;
as Salome, the mother of Zebedee's children, and others, that came from Galilee; ( Mark 15:40 Mark 15:41 ) ( 16:1 ) .

which told these things unto the apostles;
before observed.
