Mary Magdalene , [a] sometimes called Mary of Magdala , or simply the Magdalene or the Madeleine , was a Jewish woman who, according to the four canonical gospels , traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and its aftermath. Mary's epithet Magdalene may mean that she came from the town of Magdala , a fishing town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. The Gospel of Luke —3 lists Mary Magdalene as one of the women who traveled with Jesus and helped support his ministry "out of their resources", indicating that she was probably relatively wealthy. The same passage also states that seven demons had been driven out of her , a statement which is repeated in the longer ending of Mark. In all four canonical gospels, Mary Magdalene is a witness to the crucifixion of Jesus and, in the Synoptic Gospels , she is also present at his burial. All four gospels identify her, either alone or as a member of a larger group of women which includes Jesus's mother, as the first to witness the empty tomb , [2] and the first to witness Jesus's resurrection. For these reasons, Mary Magdalene is known in some Christian traditions as the "apostle to the apostles".
There are oodles of Marys in the New Testament , and that has led to some confusion. Mary Magdalene is probably the most confused of all—not herself, as far as we can tell, but in popular imagination. The misunderstandings abound. For one thing, Magdalene is not her last name but a reference to her town of origin: Magdala like Nazareth was in the region of Galilee. This should immediately distinguish her from Mary of Bethany, since Bethany is in a completely different area and not far from Jerusalem. Many people are most surprised to learn that nowhere in the Bible is Mary Magdalene described as a prostitute. Her reputation as a reformed prostitute has no explicit biblical support, but it does have church support. Pope Gregory I d. This portrait also absorbed the story of the unnamed woman caught in adultery John , the combination making the popular image of Mary Magdalene quite different from the biblical depictions. Indeed, since then, Mary of Magdala has more often than not been represented as a prostitute who gave up her wicked ways to follow the forgiving Jesus—sometimes to powerfully positive effect.
