Bible Question: Is the Mary in Matthew 26, Mark 14 and John 12 Mary Magdaline? I know the is the sister of Lazarus and Martha, but I read that she is also the Mary Magdaline who at a dinner with religious people came in and washed his feet with her tears. |
Bible Answer: Dear vblaise, Thank you for the question. Perhaps you may find the following of interest. The Six Marys This Is Appendix 100 From The Companion Bible. The name "Mary", when used of the Lord's mother, is always in Greek Mariam (equals sign) the Hebrew Miriam, as in Exodus 15:20. The other five are usually "Maria". 1.Mary the mother of our Lord (Matthew 1:16, etc.). The context never leaves room for any doubt as to her indentity. 2.Mary the mother of James the less and Joses (Matthhew 27:56. Mark 15:40; 16:1. Luke 24:10). She is called "the other Mary" (Matthew 27:61; 28:1), and the wife of Cleopas (John 19:25). 3.Mary the sister of Martha, who anointed the Lord's feet (John 12:3), see Appendix 156 and 158. She is mentioned by name only in Luke 10:39, 42 and John 11:1, 2, 19, 20, 28, 31, 32, 45; and 12:3. 4.Mary Magdalene, of Magdala (Matthew 15:39). She is always to be indentified by this designation (Matthew 27:56. Mark 16:1, 9. Luke 8:2. John 20:18, etc.); there is no authority whatever for identifying her with the unnamed woman of Luke 7:37-50. 5.Mary the mother of John Mark (Acts 12:12). 6.Mary, one of Paul's helpers (Romans 16:6). An appendix from the Companion Bible at www.therain.org Hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain |
