The Three Marys or Maries are three women mentioned in the New Testament, all of whom were, or have been considered by tradition to be, named Mary, which was a very common name for Jewish women of the period.〔(Richard Bauckham, ''The Testimony of the Beloved Disciple'' (Baker Academic 2007 ISBN 978-0-80103485-5), p. 175 )〕〔(Bart D. Ehrman, ''Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene'' (Osford University Press 2006 ISBN 978-0-19974113-7), p. 188 )〕 The New Testament gives the name Mary to several women, some of whom have at times been thought to be the same person.〔(Scott Hahn (editor), ''Catholic Bible Dictionary'' (Random House 2009 ISBN 978-0-38553008-8), pp. 583-584 )〕 * Mary, mother of Jesus * Mary Magdalene * Mary of Bethany (; ) * Mary (mother of James the Less) (; ; ) * Mary of Cleopas () * Mary, mother of John Mark of Jerusalem () * Mary of Rome Different sets of three women have been referred to as the Three Marys: * Three Marys at the tomb of Jesus on Easter Sunday; * Three Marys present at the crucifixion of Jesus; * Three Marys as daughters of Saint Anne. ==The three Marys at the tomb== This name is used for a group of three women who came to the sepulchre of Jesus. In Eastern Orthodoxy they are among the Myrrhbearers, traditionally including a much larger number of people. All four gospels mention women going to the tomb of Jesus, but only mentions the three that this tradition interprets as bearing the name Mary: * Mary Magdalene * Mary of Jacob * Salome (called Mary Salome) The other gospels give various indications about the number and identity of women visiting the tomb: * John 20:1 mentions only Mary Magdalene, but has her use the plural, saying: "''We'' do not know where they have laid him" (). * Matthew 28:1 says that Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary" went to see the tomb. * speaks of Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary of Jacob, and adds "the other women", after stating earlier () that at the burial of Jesus "the women who had come with him from Galilee ... saw the tomb and how his body was laid". The Roman Martyrology commemorates Mary Magdalene on 22 July. On 24 April it commemorates "Mary of Cleopas and Salome, who, with Mary Magdalene, came very early on Easter morning to the Lord's tomb, to anoint his body, and were the first who heard the announcement of his resurrection.〔''Martyrologium Romanum'' (Vatican Press 2001 ISBN 978-88-209-7210-3)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Three Marys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
