Who Was Mary Magdalene in the Bible?

"At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?' Thinking he was the gardener, she said, 'Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.' Jesus said to her, 'Mary.' She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, 'Rabboni!' (which means 'Teacher'). Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" John 20:14-17 NIV

📖 Luke 8:2–3 (NIV) "…Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out… was helping to support [Jesus and the disciples] out of her own means."

Mary Magdalene is one of the most compelling women in the Bible. Often misunderstood, her story is not one of shame, but of deep healing, unwavering faith, and radical devotion to Jesus.
