Women were essential to the mission of Jesus. Among the women traveling from Galilee to Judea were at least two Moms. The sons of these Moms include the sons of Zebedee. The Mom of James and John, plus the Mom of two followers of Jesus are recorded by Matthew in his Gospel Story. These Moms and other women were present at the cross, the burial, and some were the fist witnesses of the resurrection. They were tasked by an Angel and Jesus himself to compel the Eleven out of hiding after the death of Jesus so that they could see him. These women who saw Jesus first helped the disciples including their sons to see Jesus.
