Study note
Setting — The women who visited the tomb return to report their experience to the Eleven apostles and the rest of the disciples immediately after remembering Jesus's prior words (Luke 24:8).
The words — The verb ἀπήγγειλαν (apēngeilan) literally means "they related" or "they reported," emphasizing the direct transmission of what the women witnessed at the tomb.
The thread — This report initiates the apostolic proclamation that appears in parallel resurrection accounts (Matthew 28:7, Mark 16:7) and is later referenced by the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:22).
Why it lands — The text requires readers to recognize that the resurrection message was first carried by women to the core group of disciples, establishing the chain of witness that precedes the Great Commission.
