[[File:Georges de La Tour Mary Magdalene.jpg|thumb|right|Georges de La Tour, Mary Magdalene.]]'''Mary Magdalene''' (''Mary who is called Magdalene'', Μαρία ἡ καλουμένη Μαγδαληνή)<ref>[http://biblehub.com/text/luke/8-2.htm Luke 8:2 - Greek Analysis]</ref> was a Jewish woman from the tribe of Benjamin who was also a disciple of [[Christ]], from the town of [[Magdala]]. <ref>In the fictional ''The Da Vinci Code'' by Dan Brown, she is described without basis to have been a Jewish woman from the tribe of Benjamin.</ref> She appears in all four [[Gospels]] in the [[New Testament]]. Mary came with [[Jesus]] on his journey to [[Jerusalem]] and witnessed his [[crucifixion]].<ref>[[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 23:55</ref> She was also the first person to see that Jesus had [[resurrection|resurrected]].<ref>[[Gospel of John|John]] 20:1-2</ref> Jesus cast 7 demons out of her by the power of the [[Holy Spirit]].<ref>{{bibleref|Luke |8:|2}}</ref>
The New Testament does not mention her beyond the Gospels. It should be noted that the view of Mary Magdelene Magdalene as a prostitute is not found within the Bible or the writings of the early church fathers. It is possible that she had a son named [[Mark]] who tagged along with her and later wrote the [[Gospel of Mark]], although it seems unlikely that Mark would have described his own mother as "Mary Magdalene."
Contrary to unsupported [[liberal]] distortions, Mary Magdalene was probably a [[Gentile]].
