Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene was a woman who traveled with Jesus as one of his followers. She was a witness to his crucifixion and resurrection. She is mentioned by name twelve times in the canonical gospels, more than most of the apostles and more than any other woman in the gospels, other than Jesus's family. Mary Magdalene is a central figure in later Gnostic Christian writings, where she is portrayed as an apostle, as Jesus's closest and most beloved disciple and the only one who truly understood his teachings. The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I conflated Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed "sinful woman" who anointed Jesus's feet in Luke 7:36–50. Mary Magdalene is considered to be a saint by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran denominations. In 2016, Pope Francis raised the level of liturgical memory on July 22 from memorial to feast, and for her to be referred to as the "Apostle of the apostles". Other Protestant churches honor her as a heroine of the faith. The Four Evangelists The Four Evangelists are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are the authors attributed with the creation of the four canonical Gospel accounts in the New Testament. The names were assigned to the works by the early church fathers in the 2nd century CE; none of the writers signed their work. Matthew was a tax collector who followed Jesus Christ. He wrote his Gospel in Hebrew and it is the most detailed of the four. Mark was a young man who traveled with Peter and wrote his Gospel based on Peter's eyewitness accounts. Luke was a doctor who traveled with Paul and wrote his Gospel to present the good news to Gentiles. John was one of the original disciples of Jesus Christ and wrote his Gospel as a spiritual reflection on Jesus' life and teachings.
