The Six Marys
This Is Appendix 100 From The Companion Bible.
The name "Mary", when used of the Lord's mother, is always in Greek Mariam = the Hebrew Miriam, as in Exodus 15:20. The
other five are usually "Maria".
- Mary
the mother of our Lord (Matthew 1:16, etc.).
The context never leaves room for any doubt as to her identity.
-
Mary
the mother of James the less and Joses (Matthew 27:56.
Mark 15:40; 16:1. Luke 24:10).
She is called "the other Mary" (Matthew
27:61; 28:1), and
the wife of Cleopas (John 19:2).
-
Mary
the sister of Martha, who anointed the Lord's feet
(John 12:3),
see Appendix 156 and 158.
She is mentioned by name only in Luke 10:39, 42 and
John 11:1, 2, 19,
20, 28, 31, 32, 45;
and 12:3.
-
Mary
Magdalene, of Magdala (Matthew 15:39).
She is always to be identified by this designation
(Matthew 27:56. Mark
16:1, 9. Luke 8:2. John 20:18, etc.); there is no authority
whatever for identifying her with the unnamed woman
of Luke 7:37-5.
-
Mary
the mother of John Mark (Acts 12:12).
-
Mary,
one of Paul's helpers (Romans 16:6).
