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.

Luke 24:10 In-Context

8 And they remembered his words.
9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10 And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11 And these words seemed to them as idle tales: and they did not believe them.
12 But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
