Was John the Baptist married to Mary Magdelene?

Answer 1

==CORRECTION==

Yes, John the Baptist from the Tribe of Judah and Mary Magdalen from the Tribe of Benjamin were married in an Israelite Royal Wedding when she was 12-years-old in 11 AD. (Magdalen was born on May 8, 2 BC / 8.5.752 AUC. The Baptist was born on November 12, 7 BC / 12.11.747 AUC / 20 Heshvan 3755 HC.

They had a son - John the "beloved Apostle" - who was born in 12 AD and was 17 when Jesus was crucified on Friday April 7, 30 AD / 7.4.783 AUC / 14 Nisan 3790 HC.

Answer 2

No. Mary Magdalene was a follower of Jesus Christ (Luke 8:2)

Mary was a very common name at the time of Jesus in Israel and to add to the confusion a number of women surrounding Jesus were named Mary. For example, in Mat 28:1 "Mary Magdaleneand the other Mary went to look at the tomb" where the "other Mary" was not Jesus's mother but probably wife of Clopas (Jn 19:25) or Jesus's aunt and mother of James and John (Mat 27:56).

Answer 3

A:

Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist's mother, Elizabeth, and Mary, mother of Jesus, were cousins. This information is not found outside Luke's Gospel, and the majority of New Testament scholars dismiss the story as unhistorical, with Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) saying that Elizabeth was a literary creation by the author of Luke's Gospel. So, on the scholarly view, John's mother was not related to Jesus.

According to channeler Wendy Rose Williams, Mary Magdelene and John the Baptist were forced to marry when she was 19 years or older even though she had a prior agreement to marry Jesus. She claims she had a son to John the Baptist and 2 daughters to Jesus.
