Martha goes immediately to meet Jesus as he arrives, while Mary waits until she is called. As one commentator notes, "Martha, the more aggressive sister, went to meet Jesus, while quiet and contemplative Mary stayed home. This portrayal of the sisters agrees with that found in Luke 10:38–42." [11] When Mary meets Jesus, she falls at his feet ...
The tradition of the apostle St James and the shrine of El Pilar, reputed to be the first church dedicated to Mary, was given by Our Lady in an apparition to Sister Mary Agreda recorded in The Mystical City of God, and is credited with instigating the rebuilding of the fire-damaged Cathedral Basilica in Zaragoza in the Baroque style in 1681 by ...

This portrayal of the sisters agrees with that found in Luke 10:38–42." [9] In speaking with Jesus, both sisters lament that he did not arrive in time to prevent their brother's death: "Lord, if you had been here ...
Mary of Clopas is explicitly mentioned only in John 19:25, where she is among the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother and His mother’s sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary of Clopas; Salome, in this tradition called Mary Salome (as in the tradition of the three Marys at the tomb) Mary Magdalene is not part of this group. [16] Mary Salome thus becomes the half-sister of the Virgin Mary. This account was included in the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine, written in about 1260. [17]
