Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Luke 24:10
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary [the mother] of James, and other [women that were] with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

Verse 10. And Joanna] She was the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward. See Lu 8:3. 10. Joanna(See on Lu8:1-3). 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 Lu 8:2
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 k 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;

1) “It was Mary Magdalene,” (esan de he Magdalene Maria) “Now they (the women) were Mary Magdalene,” of Magdala who had been delivered from the possession of seven demons, Mar 16:9; Luk 8:2; She was the first directed to go and tell His disciples, Mat 28:1-8.
2) “And Joanna, and Mary the mother of James,” (kai loanna kai Maria he Iakobou) “And Joanna, and Mary (the mother) of James,” Luk 8:3; Mar 15:41.
3) “And other women that were with them,” (kai hai loipai sun autois) “And the rest of the women in colleague with them,” in fellowship and preparation of the anointing spices, Mar 15:41; Mat 27:55-56.
4) “Which told these things unto the apostles.” (elegon pros tous apostolous taute) “Who told or related these things directly to the eleven apostles,” as they found them.
(10) Mary Magdalene, and Joanna.St. Luke alone names the latter in the Resurrection history, as he alone had named her before, as following our Lord in Galilee (Luk. 7:2). It is not an unreasonable inference from this that she was probably his chief informant.
‘Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them told these things to the apostles.’
Luke then lists the names of some of the women who were involved, but makes clear that there were others. Mary Magdalene appears throughout in all four Gospels, but for quite a while was not with the other women because, having been sent on ahead with ‘the other Mary’ as a scout, she had gone to tell Peter and John about the empty tomb. She would, however, be seen by all as having been an essential part of the women’s party. Joanna is only mentioned elsewhere in Luk 8:3 as the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Luke expects us to remember her from there. She was clearly a ‘regular’. She may well be mentioned by Luke here because she was one of his sources of information along with the two Marys. Mary the mother of James (compare Mar 16:1) is elsewhere called Mary the mother of Joses (Mar 15:47), and Mary the mother of Joses and James (Mar 15:40).

Luk 24:10. This verse is somewhat parenthetical, and its exact form must be carefully noted: How they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna and Mary the mother of James (who thus reported), and with them the other women told these things onto the Apostles. The more important persons are mentioned first, but all bore the message. In the next verse we learn the reception given to the story. The form suggests a variety of accounts in the tumult of feeling natural at such a time, and divides the women into two parties. On the women here spoken of, see chap. Luk 8:2-3; Mat 27:56.The individual experience of the Magdalene is passed over, but her story doubtless met with the same reception.

Joanna. She is mentioned, Luke 8:3, as the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward.
Luke now introduced the identity of these female witnesses whose names he evidently omitted earlier to focus attention on the Resurrection itself.

Salome was apparently the mother of Zebedee’s sons (i.e., James and John, Mat 27:56) and the sister of Jesus’ mother (Joh 19:25). Joanna was the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and was one of Jesus’ companions in Galilee (Luk 8:3).
The rest of the disciples could not believe that Jesus was alive (cf. Luk 24:12; Luk 24:22-24). This is amazing since Jesus had predicted His resurrection, and they had seen Him raise at least three people from the dead (cf. Luk 7:11-17; Luk 8:49-56; Joh 11:38-44). However their reluctance to believe is a strong argument for the Resurrection. They knew that Jesus had died and been placed in the tomb. They did not expect the Resurrection so they would hardly have dreamed it up. Perhaps Luke called these disciples "apostles" because that is what Jesus intended them to be, namely, messengers sent with a message. They were not ready to go yet though.
