Disciple can refer to others besides the Twelve. The verb 'follow' became something of a technical term Jesus used to call His disciples, who were then called followers. The larger group of followers included men and women (Luke 8:1-3). Mary Magdalene eventually became a part of an inner circle of supporters of Jesus (Mark 15:40; Matt. 27:56; John 19:25).

In the Bible in Matthew's account of the crucifixion of Jesus:Matt 27:55-5755 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:KJVAccording to Strong's Concordance, the meaning of disciple in verse 57 is:1) to be a disciple of onea) to follow his precepts and instructionsTo be a disciple of one, is to be a follower, as in a student of one's teaching.There is no account in the Bible of Mary Magdalene being a student of Jesus. We see that she was a follower, she was present at his crucifixion, she went to the tomb with his Mother to preserve his body, she was the first person he showed himself to after his resurrection, she reported her sighting to the apostles. We can only assume based on information in the Bible that she was, but we have no actual record.


Was Mary of Magdala a disciple of Jesus?

A disciple is actually a follower who allows himself to be discipled by his teacher. Jesus had many followers, then and today, who refused to be discipled. As Mary Magdalene was one of the first people at the tomb, it seems likely that she was a disciple.
