I was, in large part, referring to your observation at the end, Kate! I don't want to spoil it for folks who haven't listened, so I'm being vague. Either way, very edifying way to spend podcast listening hours 🎧
It would be nice to have a bit of a discussion at some point about who the various Mary’s are. Is Martha’s sister Mary Madeline? The woman caught in adultery? The woman who washed Jesus’s feet with her tears and ointment? Etc. I’m sure there’s controversy and uncertainty but also tradition that would be great to learn
