Luke 24:9-11 says: "When (the women) came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense". That three of the Gospels portray Mary Magdalene as the first to see Jesus post-death, is generally considered to be of significance.
