Once upon a time,
Mary Magdalene aka Maryam of Magdala
had Seven Demons...
Luke 8:1 And it happened after these things that Yahshua was going around in the cities and in the villages and was preaching and declaring the Kingdom of Elohim, and his twelve Apostles were with him ... also those women who were healed of sicknesses and of evil spirits. Maryam who is called Magdalitha from whom seven demons had gone out. And Yokan the wife of Kuza the steward of Herodus and Shusban and many other, those were ministering to them from their wealth.
Maryam was freed from those demons by Yahshua and became a faithful follower of The Way, but nowhere in Scriptures is she referred to as a harlot, prostitute or whore. In the above paragraph she is noted with other women who are using their wealth to help support the 'ministry' of Yahshua and his Apostles.
She saw Yahshua and spoke with him after his resurrection.
John 20:11 (lightly paraphrased) But Maryam was standing at the tomb and weeping, and while she wept she peeked in the grave and she saw two Messengers clothed in white who were sitting, one at his pillow and one at the foot of the bed, where the body of Yahshua had lain. And they said to her, "Woman, why do you weep?" She said to them, "Because they have taken my Master and I do not know where they have laid him." She turned around and saw Yahshua standing behind her. She did not recognize him, thinking he was the gardener... Yahshua called her by name and she turned to look at him fully and said to him in Hebrew "Rabbuli!" which means Teacher. He sent her to tell his brothers than he ascends to their Father and Elohim. Later that evening he stood among his disciples (except Thomas was not there) telling them to receive the Ruach haKodesh, forgive men their sins and they will be forgiven. Eight days later the disciples were gathered again, with Thomas and Yahshua appeared before them saying, "Peace be with you." Now Thomas believed he was resurrected. Yahshua said, "Now that you have seen me, you believe. Blessed are those who do not see me and believe."
In John 21 we read that Yahshua reveals himself again to his disciples by the sea of Tiberius (Galilee). Verse 25 wraps up John's account: And there are many other things that Yahshua did, which if those were written one by one, not even the world as I suppose would be sufficient for the books that would be written.
Magdala
(Magadan, Dalmanutha): Mejdel. This small city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee was about 3 miles N of Tiberias. Taricheae was a Greek name of the place called in Hebrew Migdal (Magdala), from 'taricheuein' to smoke or preserve fish "pickling places." The pickled fish of Galilee were known throughout the Roman and Greek world. Large quantities were taken up to Jerusalem at the season of the yearly feasts, because of the great multitudes. Barrels were also transported around the Mediterranean.
