Jesus's resurrection, though he has not even been seen yet, is being told of by the women who had gone to do the work of the funeral dressing. That nobody believes them, even after Jesus foretold it, is somewhat comical. Jesus always went to those of lower station first, and he made no exception in this case. The women were far from Jewish nobility, and were not even the leadership of Jesus's own organization. In the way of Jesus's Kingdom, of course, they are of high importance for that very reason.
