Matt 27:56
  Interlinear
Among them were Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee [the disciples James and John's mother Salome].
[In Mark's account, all three women are named, so Salome is the name of the mother of the sons of Zebedee, see Mark 15:40. Salome is also probably the sister of Jesus' mother Mary, see John 19:25.]
Matt 27:61
  Interlinear
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

Now after (at the end of – Gk. opse) the Sabbaths [when the initial feast Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath were over], at dawn on the first day of the week [early on Sunday, around six o'clock], Mary from Magdala and the other Mary [the mother of James and Joses, see Matt. 27:56] came to see (inspect, examine) the tomb.
Mark 15:40

There were also some women who were watching what was happening from a distance. Among them were
Mary from [the town of] Magdala [on the western side of Gennesaret, whom Jesus had freed from seven demons, see Luke 8:2], Mary, mother of the younger James and Joses [perhaps Jesus' mother, see Mark 6:3, or the wife of Clopas, see John 19:25]
and Salome [mother of the disciples James and John, married to Zebedee, see Matt. 27:56.]
Mark 15:47

Mary of Magdala and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

15th – 16th Nisan (Thursday evening – Saturday afternoon)

[Jesus rests in the tomb. In the year 30 CE, there are two Sabbaths in succession. The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th of Nisan, is a holy Sabbath. It is followed by the weekly Sabbath, the 16th of Nisan, which lasts from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, see Matt. 28:1.]
Mark 16:1
  Interlinear
[It is now the 16th of Nisan according to the Jewish calendar.]
When the Sabbath [weekly Sabbath] was over [after sunset on Saturday evening], Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought fragrant spices so that they could go and anoint him.
[After sunset, the shops opened for a few hours. In 30 CE, the 17th of Nisan extends from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon. It is also the third day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and this year the day also coincides with the Feast of Firstfruits, bikkurim, see Lev. 23:9–14. There are two traditions for sacrifices surrounding this feast. According to the Pharisees, the firstfruits sacrifice should take place in the evening (at the beginning of the day), while the Sadducees believed it should be in the morning. Since the latter were in the majority in the Sanhedrin, the wave offering probably took place early on Sunday morning. Imagine if, at the same time as a sheaf was waved in the temple as a firstfruits offering, the news spread that Jesus had risen, see 1 Cor. 15:20. The Bible does not give an exact account of when Jesus rose, only that the tomb was empty at dawn on the first day of the week, Sunday, see verses 2 and 6.]
Mark 16:9
  Interlinear
[The longer ending (verses 9-20) is found in later manuscripts, but not in the earliest ones. The style differs from the rest of the Gospel, but the content is not unbiblical and includes material from the other Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.]
Early on the first day of the week [Sunday], after his resurrection, he appeared to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
Luke 8:2
  Interlinear
and also some women who had been freed from evil spirits and healed from diseases [and some of them were]:
Mary, called Magdalene [meaning "she from Magdala," a fishing village between Tiberias and Capernaum], from whom seven demons had gone out.
Luke 24:10
  Interlinear
It was Mary of Magdala and Joanna and Mary, the mother of James, and the other women who were with them who told the apostles about it.
John 19:25
  Interlinear
Standing by Jesus' cross were [the following women]: his mother [Mary], his mother's sister [probably Salome, the wife of Zebedee, the mother of James and John], Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary from Magdala.
John 20:1
  Interlinear
Early (between three and six in the morning) on the first day of the week [Sunday morning], while it was still dark, Mary from Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from [the opening of] the tomb.
John 20:11
  Interlinear
but Mary stood outside the tomb weeping (repeatedly and loudly). As she wept, she bent over toward the tomb.
John 20:16
  Interlinear
Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned and said to him in Hebrew (Aramaic), "Rabbouni!" That means teacher.
[John captures the brief but profound conversation in two words. Jesus calls her by name. To Jesus, she was Miryam, which is the original Hebrew name whose Greek and Latin forms are Mary. For Mary, he was "Rabbouni." John translates the word as teacher, which is correct, but at the same time, the Aramaic word carries a deeper reverence and means "my beloved Master" and is an intensification of the more common title "Rabbi."]
John 20:18
  Interlinear
Mary of Magdala then went and told the disciples that she had seen (experienced, seen with her own eyes) the Lord, and that he had said this to her.
