Luke does not dispute the other Gospels, even if he does not mention
Mary Magdalene by name. John 20 and Mark 16:9 specifically name her as
the first person to see Jesus after his Resurrection. Every child in
Sunday School knows this, including St. Augustine. Nobody argues that
Mary Magdalen was not the first person to see the risen Christ. Nobody.
"She was at his burial, and she is the only person that all four Gospels
say was first to realize that Jesus had risen and to testify to that
central teaching of faith."
