Matt. 28:1 “After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to view the tomb.” Who is the “other Mary” here? I think his mother would have been identified as such, but she isn’t. This scripture is curious in that it doesn’t not specify which Mary, when most other references to either of them do make the distinction.
I’m not claiming to be a scholar. My opinion is based on my observation of a woman’s behavior as a woman myself.
It has been my experience that those who try to tie Jesus to Mary Magdalene are those who still believe she was a prostitute and are using that error as a means of robbing Christ of His holiness.
I was under the belief that Mary M was not a prostitue. Or at least that was being challenged.
So much speculation about people who lived in a backwater 2,000 years ago!
