Carol Meyers notes that "unlike virtually all women in biblical narratives, she is not presented as the 'wife' of someone".

Her tears fell upon his feet and she wiped them with her hair. The Bible does not say whether she had encountered Jesus in person prior to this. Neither does the Bible disclose the nature of ...

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt, 1632. Calming the storm is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels, reported in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25 (the Synoptic Gospels).
