'''Salome''' is a woman disciple of [[Jesus]] identified by name only in the [[Gospel of Mark]] at {{bible ref|Mark|15|40}} and {{bible ref|Mark|16|1}}.  Salome was known to [[Mark]] and was part of the group of women who followed [[Jesus]], but was unknown to [[Matthew]].  As both Salome and Mark witnessed the [[Crucifixion]], and Mark apparently based his account of the [[Resurrection]] on Salome's visiting the empty tomb, it is highly likely that Salome was Mark's mother.

Salome was a common [[Aramaic]] name at the time, and is used today.<ref>https://themeaningofthename.com/salome/</ref>  In modesty, [[Mark]] did not explain who Salome was because she was almost certainly Mark's mother, who as a follower of [[Jesus]] enabled her child Mark to be an eyewitness to Jesus's ministry.  Mark was Aramaic, as he used far more statements of Jesus in Aramaic than any other [[The Gospels|Gospel]].

[[Matthew]] apparently did not know who Salone was, as he copied from the [[Gospel of Mark]] and yet omitted two references to her by Mark at {{bible ref|Mark|15|40}} and {{bible ref|Mark|16|1}}.  In particular, Matthew omitted the presence of Salome or any third woman from the visit to the tomb of [[Jesus]], described by {{bible ref|Matthew|28|1}} (only two women) and {{bible ref|Mark|16|1}}.
