Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Μαγδαλά (Magdala), a place name meaning "tower" or "elevated, great, magnificent."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Μαγδαληνή, as it is a Greek designation based on a geographical location. However, the name Magdala is related to the Hebrew word מִגְדָּל (migdal), Strong's Hebrew 4026, meaning "tower."

Usage: The term is used in the New Testament to identify Mary Magdalene, a prominent female follower of Jesus Christ. She is mentioned in the context of Jesus' ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Context: Mary Magdalene is a significant figure in the New Testament, known for her devoted discipleship to Jesus Christ. She is introduced in the Gospels as a woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons (Luke 8:2). Her name, Magdalene, indicates her origin from the town of Magdala, located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Mary Magdalene is prominently featured in the accounts of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. She is one of the few followers who remained with Jesus during His crucifixion (Matthew 27:55-56, Mark 15:40, John 19:25). After His death, she witnessed His burial and was the first to visit His tomb on the morning of His resurrection (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1, John 20:1). Notably, she was the first person to whom the risen Christ appeared, and she was entrusted with the message of His resurrection to the other disciples (John 20:11-18).

Mary Magdalene's role underscores the transformative power of Jesus' ministry and the inclusion of women in His mission. Her story is a testament to faithfulness and the profound impact of encountering Christ.
