AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 8:2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary, called Magdalene [from the city of Magdala in Galilee], from whom seven demons had come out, |
Bible Question: Is Mary Magdalene the same woman who anointed Jesus's feet with the expensive oil? Is Mary Magdalene also the woman who was about to be stoned but Jesus stopped the crowd by asking "the one without sin to cast the first stone?" Is Mary Magdalene the woman who cried at Jesus's feet and wiped them with her hair? |
Bible Answer: Greetings JoAnn and welcome to the forum, No, they are not one in the same. Mary Magadalene was one of the women who ministered to Jesus and contributed to Him financially. She was identified as "one from whom 7 demons had gone out"(Luke 8:2). She has traditionally been identified with the sinful woman (a prostitute) who annointed His feet with expensive oil and dried them with her tears but that is unlikely since she is introduced in 8:2. No name is ever given for either of the women you have mentioned. Hope this helps. prayon |
