Question
Is Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha the same Mary? And if they are different, who anointed Jesus' feet, Mary of Bethany or Mary Magdalene?
Mary Magdalene is so called because she came from Magdala which is near the Lake of Tiberias. She is the one who had the demons cast out of her and later came with other women to anoint the body of Jesus after it was taken down from the cross.
Mary, the sister of Martha lived in Bethany with their brother, Lazarus. She was the one who anointed the feet of Jesus.
