The Lost One
There are whole bunch of Marys in the gospels, but I am only interest in two of them.
Is Mary Magdalene the same woman as Mary of Bethany (who is the sister of Lazarus and Martha)?
From what I can work out, Mary Magdalene is from Galilee, but the other Mary is Bethany, which is close to Jerusalem. MM is always associated with the other women who followed Jesus from Galilee to Jersualem. MM is also in company with the other Mary, the mother of James and Joseph, at the crucifixion and at the resurrection.
To me, that's my main reason why I think they are 2 different women, but I am not 100% sure.
Ok, I am also interested in the other Mary too. This mother of James and Joseph, is she the mother of an apostle known as James the Lesser?
