Jesus picked a woman to deliver the most precious message of them all
and yes there was men around. Tell me why Jesus picked a woman. The
men were doing whatever they were doing, but Mary was trying to find
the body of Jesus to anoint and care for it. When you get through, you
will still have to admit that Jesus picked a WOMAN to deliver the
first Gospel message. 

Me
you assume a lot by saying this! lets look at the facts in Mark, Luke,
John. It didn't take much looking to find the body of Yehoshuha since
they already knew where it was. If anything this is an example of Women
carring out labor that is not assigned to a certain time. The fact is
the men knew where the body was also. I only know of four gospels,
Matthew which was written to and for nations. Mark which was written to
and for converts, Luke which was written to and for the congregation,
and John which is written to and for the explaination of the Torah
principals in it. There is NO GOSPEL written by women in my bible or was
a women ever picked to write scripture. Please refrain from scratching
the ears of the women and say with what is written don't go beyond the
word.  

Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.
16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and
anoint him. 
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from
the door of the sepulchre? 
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it
was very great. 
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth,
which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where
they laid him. 
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you
into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they
trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for
they were afraid.

Luke 23:50 
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a
good man, and a just: 
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was
of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the
kingdom of God. 
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.

 
Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with them. 
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold,
two men stood by them in shining garments: 
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they
said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he
was yet in Galilee, 
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 
8 And they remembered his words, 
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the
eleven, and to all the rest. 
10  It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and
other women that were with them, which told these things unto the
apostles. 
                       
16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and
anoint him.

John 20:1  The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from
the sepulchre. 
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away
the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 

Shalom!
