Salome is a woman disciple of Jesus identified by name only in the Gospel of Mark at Mark 15:40 and Mark 16:1 . Salome was well-known to Mark and was part of the group of women who followed Jesus, but was unknown to Matthew. Mark based his belief in the Resurrection on the witnessing of the empty tomb and the angel by Salome, thereby reinforcing the near certainty that Salome was Mark's mother. Both Salome and Mark also witnessed the Crucifixion.
Salome was a common Aramaic name at the time, and is used today.[1] 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 also Aramaic, as he used far more statements of Jesus in Aramaic than any other 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 Mark 15:40 and 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 Matthew 28:1 (only two women) and Mark 16:1 .
The group of women who financially supported the disciples of Jesus are generally referenced in Luke 8:3.[2]
