(TRADITION)

Matthew 27:55-56 "And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: {56} Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children."

Mark 15:40 "There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less & of Joses, & Salome;"

Common women at the cross and closeness of disciples leads

me to believe Salome is sister.

*******************************

Galatians 1:19 "But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother."

Jude 1 "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are...."

Mark 6:3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him." *******************************

John 19:25 "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the <wife> of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."

Jesus's Mary name maybe Greek

for Miriam & above names Maria.

the same person with many names
