Hemmed in by rabbinic traditions ,
women liveing when Jesus was on earth were restricted from serving as legal witnesses."

Consider what happened shortly after Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the morning of Nisan 16,33 C.E..
Who would be the first to see the resurrected Jesus and bear witness to other disciples that their Lord had been raised up ?
It turned out to be the women who had stayed within view of the impalement site until he expired.
{ Matthew 27:55,56, 61}

Early in the morning and the first day of the week ,
Mary Magdalene and other women went to the tomb with spices to treat Jesus' body.

Upon finding the tomb empty , Mary ran off to tell Peter and John.
The other women remained.
Soon , an angle appeared to them and told them that Jesus had been raised up.
"Go quickly , and tell his disciples " the angel instructed.

While theses women were hurring to deliver the news,
Jesus himself appeared to them.
" Go reported to my brothers , " he told them.
{ Matthew 28;1-10; Mark 16:1,2; John 20:1,2 }
