Mary Magdalene had Jesus cast out 7 demons out of her. The Bible doesn’t actually identify people by their sin or experiences such as this one, mentioning them by name. Mary Magdalene is one of the ones that the Bible actually mentions by name.

Most of the women mentioned in the Bible are mentioned alongside their father’s, spouses or children. Much like some cultures even today. Mary Magdalene’s name is mentioned twelve different times in the Bible, devoid of any attachments to a parent, spouse or child. She’s referred to as Mary Magdalene, follower of Christ.

This could be a testament to her individual importance to Jesus’ work. She was a leader in Jesus’ ministry and was listed together with other women leaders.

The Bible records the process of Jesus’ arrest leading up to his crucifixion- a very tumultuous process as he walked all over town bearing a cross on which he would be crucified. Many of Jesus’ friends, acquaintances and followers took to flight lest they be associated with or connected to Jesus and have to pay some sort of price.

Mary Magdalene stayed with Jesus through his suffering, and at the foot of the cross. She again was at Jesus’ tomb bright and early to anoint his body with oil and spices. She was among the first people to come to terms with Jesus’ resurrection.
