   Many have supposed that this person was Mary Magdalene, and
   Mary the sister of Lazarus.  But there is no indication in the
   gospel history, that Mary Magdalene was the sister of Lazarus;
   but on the contrary, it would appear that they were perfectly
   distinct persons, the sister of Lazarus residing at Bethany,
   while Mary Magdalene appears to have resided at Magdala, east
   of Jordan, a distance of nearly ninety miles.  Add to this,
   that our Saviour seems to have been now in or near Nain, not
   at Bethany; and the woman appears from the recital to have
   been previously unknown to him.
