AnswerWe do not know and can not know how old Mary was when she first conceived. Since it was common for girls to become married as soon as the reached puberty, it has always been assumed that she would have been no older than 14 years, but this is merely conjecture. The gospels tell us almost nothing about Mary, and much of what the gospel does tell us is contradictory, but this is all we do know,

who is son of god?

Jesus!!! Jesus is not God's Son in the sense of a human father and a son. God did not get married and have a son. God did not mate with Mary and, together with her, produce a son. Jesus is God's Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form (John 1:1, 14). Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'"


When did jesus life begin and 2 scriptures to support answer?

In one sense Jesus' life began when he was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of his mother Mary. But in a far larger sense, his life had no beginning. Jesus Christ, the Word who was with God and was God, has always existed. John 1:1-14. Matthew and Luke traced Jesus' human lineage in different ways. Matthew traces Jesus' genealogy through his foster father, Joseph, back to Abraham. Luke on the other hand, is believed to have traced Jesus lineage through Mary, his mother, back to Adam. Luke 2:11 " For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord "

Did Mary Magdalene recognize Jesus in the Gospels of Mark and Luke?

In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene saw no one when she first went alone to the sepulchre. When she returned later, she saw the risen Jesus but did not recognise him, thinking that he was the gardener (John 20:14-15).In Matthew's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was returning from the sepulchre with the other Mary, when they met Jesus. They both recognised him immediately and worshipped him (Matthew 28:9).In the original version of Mark's Gospel, ending at verse 16:8, the women did not see the risen Jesus. In the 'Long Ending', at 16:9, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and she went and told the others.In Luke's Gospel, Mary Magdalene did not meet the risen Jesus.
