1 | John 8: who was the lady? | John 8:3 | kalos | 118719 | ||
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 movies, Easter programs, musicals and rock operas, 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). |

thanks Kalos for your answer, i was just curious seeing mary in an old movie then again in the Passion as the lady about to be stoned. i thought these film makers knew something that i didn't. Maybe this was a dramatic way for them to introduce her into the film. Bless you | ||||||
