Mary Magdalene [a] (sometimes called Mary of Magdala, or simply the Magdalene or the Madeleine) was a woman who, according to the four canonical gospels, traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and resurrection. [1]
[13] The final scene in the Gospel of Mary may also provide evidence that Mary is indeed Mary Magdalene.

[3] In this passage koinōnos is used.
It also refers to "the other Mary." An ambiguous usage copied from Matthew 27:61 and usually accepted to refer to Mary, the mother of James.

Pistis Sophia (Koinē Greek: Πίστις Σοφία) is a Gnostic text discovered in 1773, [1] possibly written between the 3rd [2] and 4th centuries AD. [3] The existing manuscript, which some scholars place in the late 4th century, [4] relates one Gnostic group's teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the assembled disciples, including his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Martha.
