...and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, ....

1 woman or two??

 

In John 19:25 we read, "Standing by the foot of the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary of Magdala."

3 women or 4??

 

Cross reference this with Matthew 27:56: "Among them [at the cross] were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee."

3 women?

 

Why leave out --->  Matthew 27:55

Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.

 

 

  his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary of Magdala." <-same; obviously -> Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee."

3 women?3-4 women or 5-6??
