A common misinterpretation of this verse is to overlook or minimize the women's crucial role as the first proclaimers of the resurrection, sometimes using it to argue against women in ministry by focusing only on the apostles as the true recipients, ignoring 'all the rest' which likely included other disciples; another error is assuming the report led to immediate belief among the listeners, whereas the following verses reveal the apostles dismissed it as idle tales, thus missing the emphasis on faithful testimony amid unbelief.
Luke 24:9
King James Version (1769)
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
Luke 24:9 captures the immediate response of the women who discovered the empty tomb and heard the angels' message about Jesus' resurrection; they faithfully returned to report these events to the eleven apostles and all the other followers, demonstrating obedience and initiating the proclamation of the gospel, which underscores the theme of witness-bearing as essential to the early Christian mission despite the initial skepticism that followed.
