I was just starting to write a comment and noticed the woman before me already wrote it. I could say so much more because you have moved me to tears but I am guilty of rambling. I was ready to begin my devotions and picked up my phone as I gathered my books paper and pen and saw a picture of your Part II on the screen. I ignore most notifications but this one said, (Please read this) Daughter of a King (you are). So I went back to Part I. I don’t even know how I connected with you but I consider it nothing less than a Divine intervention. I’m so grateful. Thank you. Now on to Part II.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Deb. When I publish essays like this, I'm never quite sure how they will resonate with people or what kind of impact they will have on my readers. I am so, so encouraged by your comment. Thank you. God bless you.
So many Marys!

This was a such a beautifully written analysis! We serve a mighty God!
Amen to that! 🙌🏻
Hi Allana do you think Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene are the same or different people?
I’ve always understood them to be different characters. Mary Magdalene’s name is a reference to the town she was from: “Mary of Magdala.” Although there is some scholarly debate surrounding the two Mary’s, I would side with the argument that they are two distinct characters, as Don Stewart articulates in his Blue Letter Bible commentary: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/stewart_don/faq/the-world-into-which-jesus-came/17-who-was-mary-magdalene.cfm
