Verse 18
As an obedient disciple, Mary went to the other disciples and told them that Jesus was alive plus the message that Jesus had given her. Again "the Lord" probably meant "Jesus" to her at this time, but she spoke better than she knew. Later she would understand more about the implications of that title. Mark mentioned that the disciples were weeping and mourning when Mary met them, and they failed to believe that Jesus was alive (Mark 16:10-11).
John did not mention Jesus’ appearance to the other women that followed His appearance to Mary Magdalene (Matthew 28:9-10). He also omitted Matthew’s account of how the guards at Jesus’ tomb reported to the Jewish rulers that it was empty (Matthew 28:11-15). Likewise he passed over Jesus’ appearances to the two disciples on the Emmaus road (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-32) and to Peter (Luke 24:33-35; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:5).
