Mary Inspired The Monologue Of Mary Magdalene
The Gospel of Mary inspired the monologue of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’ sister. To me, it became clear that Mary had known the secrets of Jesus and Jesus treated her the greatest, since they were siblings and best friends, not lovers. I took the connection I had made and used it as the association of Mary Magdalene in the gospels. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus when he proclaimed the Kingdom of God, she was present with the mother of Jesus during his crucifixion, and she was present at the tomb of Jesus with Jesus’ mother. She traveled with Jesus along with his brothers, because she and Jesus were siblings close in age, also best friends due to this small age gap. She was present at his death with their mother, as a sibling would go with their parents to support their other sibling during a troubling time. She was present at the tomb of Jesus, like a sibling would go with their parents to visit the burial site of a lost sibling. Mary Magdalene was not close to Jesus because they were lovers; she was close to Jesus because they were brother and sister. In Luke, Jesus travels through the cities and villages with his twelve disciples, their wives, and Mary Magdalene, …show more content…
Jesus could have appeared to anyone yet He chose to appear to Mary. She was the only one who stayed by his side throughout his whole life. She never once questioned him, and she was his main aid while he preached across cities and villages. Mary was the one person Jesus knew he could fully trust. Mary heard His recognizable voice speak to her and she knew it was unfeigned . He told her to go tell her brethren that he has risen from the dead and he ascended into Heaven . She then told those who had been with Jesus and they did not believe it . Mary Magdalene went and proclaimed to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” . Then Jesus said to Mary Magdalene and his mother, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see

    Sign Miracles Research Paper

    Lazarus sisters sent word to Jesus saying that Lazarus was sick, but Jesus did not go to Bethany right away. Jesus spoke to his disciples and saith unto them "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep." His disciples did not understand that Jesus was speaking of Lazarus 's death, so he said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went an met him and said Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died. "Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said unto Martha, I am the resurrection and the life, and whoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Jesus called Lazarus forth from the tomb. This sign miracle shows the deity of Christ because he has power over…

    Mary Rowlandson Analysis

    She often compares herself to people in the Bible. When she was younger she had trouble with spiritual accounts. For this she brings up 2 Corinthian 12. 9. This scripture tells that God's grace is enough for her. Then later she brings up Job 1. 15 that says “And I only am escaped alone to tell the News(221).” This scripture is significant to Mary because she feels as though she was alive because she was chosen to tell of the events that occurred during King Philip's War.…

    Mary And Samaritan Analysis

    Luke’s theme is about new conversion and the rapid spread of Christianity, however, with the addition of the story of Mary and Martha it becomes confusing as to how this story fits in with the overall theme of the Gospel of Luke. However, Luke continues his theme with this story because he wants everyone to know the truth about Jesus. Jesus wanted Martha to stop doing the busywork and focus on the truth of Him and who He is. Before this passage, we have the story about the Good Samaritan who was there to help even when it was frowned upon socially. After this passage, we have where Jesus teaches about prayer. The passage about Mary and Martha go with the Good Samaritan story because Martha was doing what was expected by her culture and society, while Mary was going beyond it and sitting at the feet of Jesus.…

    Is Jesus's Resurrection Based On Religion Or Science?

    Peter and John run to the tomb to verify her story. They still are unaware (John 20:9) of the scripture that "he must rise again from the dead." They then depart. Mary is suddenly at the tomb, so some time must have passed for her to follow the sprinting Peter and John, and she sees in the tomb two angels in white who ask why she is crying. They do not say Jesus has risen. She still thought that the corpse of Jesus had been stolen. Replying to the angels she met inside the tomb, she said: Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. (John 20:13)…

    In the second ending, and also another version in chapter 16 starting in verse 9 and ending in verse 13, brings forth the appearances of the risen Lord. This version also started on a Monday with the Lord appearing to Mary Magdalene. This time she did go and report it to those who had been with them when he was killed, yet still when they heard of him appearing and still alive they still did not believe in this. After this appeared to two of them as they walked to the country and it says in verse [13] “so they had believed from seeing this and went and reported it to the rest who did not believe them either” they still did not believe. As you in the version no one speaks for the lord telling…

    Theories of resurrection of the body are logically incoherent.

    However this opinion may not necessarily be true. The base of many theories of resurrection is the bible, which suggests that talk of physical resurrection of Jesus is logical as there is recorded evidence through the accounts of Luke, Matthew, Mark and John. These accounts can be seen as evidence that theories of resurrection are logical because they are classed as eye witness accounts. Matthew reported that Jesus appeared to the disciples and said "peace be with you". They came up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.' (Mathew 28 V9) Mark also says that Mary saw a man in the tomb and he said 'You are looking for the Jesus of Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!'(Mark 16 V6) but Mary was too scared and didn't tell anyone. Another source of evidence was Luke's statement when Jesus appeared; 'They gave him a piece of cooked fish, which he took and ate' (Luke 24 V41-43). Then finally John said Jesus appeared to Thomas, saying 'put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side' (John 20 V27). These accounts support a Christian materialist view that Jesus' resurrection was physical as he could eat, be touched, walk, speak and breathe. They are considered as evidence as they are written historical accounts. The evidence must be reliable; would they risk their lives for made up stories?…

    Jesus After Resurrection In The Holy Bible

    As diverse and multicultural as today’s society may appear, the majority of individuals have still heard of the gospels that help make up the Holy Bible. Although there are many in the Bible, the four canonical gospels, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, are perhaps the most widely recognized. These four, although composed by different individuals, share many similarities in common such as how those who encounter Jesus after his resurrection behave. Even certain traits that characterize Jesus himself after resurrection are somewhat related.…

    Mary's Perpetual Virginity

    The Church has held Mary’s perpetual virginity as a dogma, and it is also true that it has brought about distrust and doubt. This skepticism towards Mary’s virginity has grown through out the history of man kind. At the very heart of this dogma lies the credence of the Church and of the Magisterium, who have the proficiency to maintain Mary’s perpetual virginity as an absolute truth. This upholding has perpetually led to the debate of whether Mary, Mother of Jesus, was in fact a virgin through out her entire life. Many see this affirmation as impossible, nonetheless the Church has always believed Mary remain a virgin “during childbirth and after childbirth.” Conversely many people do agree with this statement for the mere belief that the Bible…

    Apparitions of Saints

    The last century-and-a-half has seen numerous accounts of appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Jesus, Himself, is said to speak to a few of the seers. Some of the apparitions have received official approval by the Roman Catholic Church. Common threads running through all the messages are: Jesus has been offended by the multiplication of against His Sacred Heart; and Mary exhorts humanity to prayer and repentance and an increased devotion to the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession. A simple message, but the alternative, we are warned, is a great chastisement which will befall mankind.…
