Topical Encyclopedia Maria is a name that appears in the New Testament of the Bible, often considered a variant of the name Mary. The name Mary, or Maria, is of Hebrew origin, derived from "Miryam," which means "bitterness" or "beloved." In the context of the New Testament, Maria is associated with several significant women who played crucial roles in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.1. Mary, the Mother of Jesus: Perhaps the most prominent figure named Mary in the Bible, she is the mother of Jesus Christ. The angel Gabriel announced to her that she would conceive a child by the Holy Spirit, and she humbly accepted this divine calling (Luke 1:26-38). Her role as the mother of the Messiah is central to the narrative of the Gospels, and she is present at key events in Jesus' life, including His birth (Luke 2:1-7), His first miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11), and His crucifixion (John 19:25-27). 2. Mary Magdalene: Another significant figure, Mary Magdalene, is often identified as a devoted follower of Jesus. She is mentioned in all four Gospels as a witness to Jesus' crucifixion and as the first person to see the resurrected Christ (John 20:11-18). Her dedication and faithfulness are highlighted in the Gospel accounts, and she is often remembered for her role in the early Christian community. 3. Mary of Bethany: This Mary is the sister of Martha and Lazarus, who lived in Bethany. She is known for her act of devotion when she anointed Jesus' feet with expensive perfume and wiped them with her hair (John 12:1-8). Her account is a testament to the importance of worship and devotion to Christ, as Jesus commended her for choosing "the good part" (Luke 10:38-42). 4. Mary, the Mother of James and Joses: This Mary is mentioned in the context of the crucifixion and resurrection narratives. She is identified as one of the women who followed Jesus and provided for Him during His ministry (Mark 15:40-41). She is also noted as being present at the tomb on the morning of the resurrection (Mark 16:1). 5. Mary, the Wife of Clopas: Mentioned in John 19:25 , this Mary is present at the crucifixion of Jesus. She is often identified as the sister-in-law of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and is part of the group of women who remained faithful to Jesus during His final hours. The various women named Mary in the New Testament highlight the significant roles women played in the life and ministry of Jesus. Each Mary, or Maria, brings a unique perspective and contribution to the Gospel narratives, demonstrating faith, devotion, and service to the Lord. Their accounts continue to inspire believers to live lives of faithfulness and dedication to Christ. Greek 3137. Maria -- Mary, the name of several Christian women Maria or Mariam. 3136, 3137.
