Gill's Notes on the Bible

Among which was Mary Magdalene,.... Out of whom Christ had cast out seven devils; and who having received much from him, loved much, which she showed by her zealous and constant attachment to him. She was called Magdalene, either because she was an inhabitant of Magdala, Matthew 15:39, so we read e of R. Isaac, מגדלאה, of "Magdala", or "Magdalene"; and the rather, because that Magdala was famous, or rather infamous, for whoredom; for which reason the Jews f say, it was destroyed: or else she was so called, because she was גדלת, a "tonstrix", or plaiter of women's hair, as the word signifies g; and so we often read of Mary, מגדלא שיער נשייא, "the plaiter of women's hair" h; by whom the Jews seem to design Mary, the mother of Jesus, whom they confound with this Mary Magdalene. Jerom says i, her name signifies "towered", or "fortified", because of her care and diligence, and the ardour of her faith; and "Migdal", in Hebrew, does signify a tower:

and Mary the mother of James and Joses: the same with the wife of Cleophas, and sister to Mary, the mother of Jesus: instead of Joses, the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read Joseph: יוסי "Jose", in Hebrew, is the same with "Joseph", the last letter being cut off; the Arabic version reads Mary, the mother of James, and the mother of Joses, John 19:25.

And the mother of Zebedee's children: that is, of James and John; her name was Salome, Mark 15:40.

e Juchasin, fol. 96. 2. f T. Hieros. Taaniot, fol. 69. 1. Echa Rabbati, fol. 52. 4. g Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Kiddushin, c. 2. sect. 3. h T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 104. 2. Chagiga, fol. 4. 2. & Sanhedrin, fol. 67. 1. i Ad Principiam, Tom. l. fol. 41.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Mary Magdalene - Mary of Magdala. She had a special cause of attachment to the Saviour, having been relieved by him of a most dreadful calamity and restored to her right mind, after being possessed by seven devils. See the notes at Luke 8:2.

And the mother of Zebedee’s children - That is, of James and John, Matthew 10:2. Her name was Salome, Mark 15:40.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 56. Mary Magdalene — She probably had her name from Magdala, a village or district in Lower Galilee. See Matthew 15:39. Some think she was called Magdalene from מגדלא magdala, which signifies a plaiter of hair. See Lightfoot.

Mary the mother of James — She was mother of him called James the lesser, or junior, who was son of Alpheus or Cleopas - see Matthew 10:3; Mark 15:40; John 19:25; and she was sister to the holy virgin. Thus it appears that there were four remarkable Marys mentioned in the Gospels.

1. MARY the Virgin, wife of JOSEPH.

2. MARY SALOME, her sister, wife of Cleopas, John 19:25.

3. MARY MAGDALENE, or MARY of Magdala; and,

4. MARY, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, John 11:1.

Though Baronius asserts, and Lightfoot is of the same opinion, that Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, was one and the same person. It is difficult to ascertain and distinguish these women where their names occur in the Gospels, so many being called by the name of Mary.

Joses — Several MSS. and versions read Joseph.
