Show Notes

Mary Magdalene was a woman who is mentioned several times in the New Testament of the Bible. She is believed to have been a close follower of Jesus and is often depicted as a symbol of repentance and devotion.

 

According to the Gospels, Mary Magdalene was originally from the town of Magdala on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. She is said to have been possessed by seven demons, which Jesus cast out of her. After her healing, she became a devoted follower of Jesus and traveled with Him and His disciples, supporting their ministry with her resources.

 

Mary Magdalene witnessed most of the events surrounding the crucifixion. She was present at the mock trial of Jesus; she heard Pontius Pilate pronounce the death sentence; and she saw Jesus beaten and humiliated by the crowd. She was one of the women who stood near Jesus during the crucifixion to try to comfort Him. The earliest witness to the resurrection of Jesus, she was sent by Jesus to tell the others (John 20:11-18). Although this is the last mention of her in the Bible, she was probably among the women who gathered with the apostles to await the promised coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:14).
