Mary the mother of James] lit. ’Mary of James,’ i.e. probably ’Mary daughter of James,’ or just possibly ’Mary wife of James.’ She is perhaps the same as Mary the mother of James and Joses, Mark 15:40.9-20.

XVI.(1-8) And when the sabbath was past.—See Notes on Matthew 28:1-8. “Mary the mother of James” (not, as in Mark 15:40, of “James and Joses”) answers, as before, to the “other Mary” of Matthew 28:1. “Salome” appears, as before, in St. Mark only. read more
