Notes

Luke 24:9

the Eleven: These were the Twelve disciples minus Judas. Judas Iscariot had betrayed Jesus and was no longer with them.

Luke 24:1–12

Women were the first to find the tomb empty and to hear the announcement of the resurrection. This is strong evidence for the historicity of the resurrection accounts. In first-century Judaism, women were not regarded as reliable witnesses, so the church would never have created stories in which women discovered the empty tomb.
