Verse 47
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus beheld where he was laid.
The granting of precedence in this verse to Mary Magdalene, out of whom the Lord had cast seven devils, and the mention of her name ahead of that of Mary the mother of Jesus, defies any human explanation of it. Such unexpected and utterly amazing elements in the gospel of Christ afford incidental but overwhelmingly persuasive evidence of the divine nature of the sacred records. No forger could ever have thought of anything like this; nor can it be supposed that any mistake has been made. It was not to Mary his mother, but to Mary Magdalene, that Jesus first appeared after he was risen from the dead. Surely God's ways are not like the ways of men.
