Magdala was quite close to Nazareth and Cana, and Jesus probably visited the region a number of times. At some point in her life, Mary met Jesus, and he cured her of a severe illness. We do not know what the illness was, or whether the cure happened in one moment or over a period of time. Perhaps it occurred gradually, as her knowledge of Jesus dev...
Two groups traveled with Jesus: 1. a group of men led by the apostle Peterand 2. a group of women led by Mary Magdalene. It was the common practice for men and women to accompany each other when traveling, but they moved in separate groups. Mary and Peter seem to have been the leaders of these two groups.Unfortunately, the words and actions of the ...
Other named women in the group led by Mary were Joanna and Susanna. Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward(Luke 8:3) was of high social standing, with connections at the royal court. She probably lived in the upper part of the city of Jerusalemin one of the grander houses in the Upper City. A woman like this would not travel without a retinue of serva...

There are three groups of womenmentioned in these verses from Mark: 1. the inner core of women who were close friends or relativesof Jesus 2. the women who provided for himfrom their financial resources 3. the women who came up with Jesus to Jerusalem, just prior to his execution.

This does not mean that the men were more cowardly than the women.It was simply more dangerous for them to be near the execution site. The Romans saw Jesus as a dangerous rebel leader, and so they viewed Jesus’ male friends with suspicion. The male disciples might easily have been arrested as co-conspirators, so they kept their distance. Women were...
In this part of the story, Mary 1. was present at the temporary burial of Jesusand saw him placed in the tomb, then 2. returned to the place were they were staying and collected the materials needed for a proper burial (see Death & Burial). ‘The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

‘But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb, and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet They said to her “Woman, why are you weeping She said to them “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him...
Jesus told Mary not to cling to him, but to let him go.He was telling her that their former way of life has ended, that she must let go and move on. They are words that are often said by those who seek to comfort and advise people who are grieving. In a way the angel said the same thing: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” Death had happen...
At the tomb, Mary was given instructions. She was told by Jesus or by the angel to “Go to my brothers and say to them….” Mary then ‘went and announced’. With these words Mary was commissioned as an apostle of Jesus (‘go and tell’ is apostellein in Greek). She was an apostle in the same way as the men (the Twelve and the other disciples) who were co...
Mary Magdalene. Mary was called Magdalene because she was from Magdala, on the western shore of Galilee. She experienced incredible healing when Jesus drove seven demons from her ( Luke 8:2 ). Mary Magdalene became a faithful and courageous disciple of Jesus.
