Mary Magdalene, sometimes called Mary of Magdala, was a Jewish woman who, according to the gospels, traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and its aftermath. She had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, out of whom went seven devils, (Luke 8:2).
She viewed the crucifixion:
Matthew 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
She saw the tomb where Jesus was laid:
Matthew 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
She was of the first women to visit the tomb:

She was one of the first to report the resurrection:

John 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
