Who was Mary Magdeline and why is it common knowledge that she was considered a prostitute when I cannot locate this information anywhere in the Bible? If I am missing some facts, could you please enlighten me as to where these could be found in the Bible. | ||||||
2 | Mary Magdeline, facts on lifestyle | Luke 8:2 | kalos | 3136 | ||
Luke 8:2 NASB "and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out." I don't know where people, including writers of Easter programs and musicals, get the idea that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Wherever they got it, it sure wasn't from the Bible, which gives no indication that Mary M. had ever been a prostitute. All the Bible does tell us of her background is that she is the one "from whom seven demons had gone out." "8:2. *Mary who was called Magdalene.* Her hometown was Magdala. She is not to be confused with the sinful woman of Luke 7 or Mary of Bethany (John 11:1)" (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). |
