What Does Luke 8:2 Mean?
Luke names some of the company that travels with Jesus, and the detail is remarkable: women whom He has healed of evil spirits and infirmities journey alongside the twelve. First among them is Mary called Magdalene, out of whom seven devils had gone.
Those whom Jesus frees become those who follow Him. Her deliverance was complete; seven, the number of fullness, tells us the bondage was deep and the healing entire. The Gospels never again define Mary by her past, but by her nearness to Christ, even to the cross, the tomb, and the resurrection morning. Healed people make devoted companions, for they know what they owe.
