LUKE 24:10

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. - Luke 24:10

Why not mention who the others with them were? I think it’s cool that at a time when women weren’t respected Luke mentions multiple times these women. But, how many more were there? Couldn’t he just put them in there?

I mean, who is Joanna? And if Mary was the mother of James and Jesus wouldn’t Luke have said, “mother of Jesus”?

Does any of this even matter? Actually, probably! I’m sure Luke had a reason for writing stuff the way he did (Yes! I believe God was not controlling his hand!). Figuring out why - that’s the tough part!
