Bible Question: In John 8: when Jesus stopped the people stoning the lady for adultery, was this woman Mary Magdalene? also i would like know any info on her thanks. |
Bible Answer: 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). |
