耶穌與抹大拉的馬利亞 Relationship of Jesus and Mary Magdalene
耶穌與抹大拉的馬利亞 Relationship of Jesus and Mary Magdalene
● 字源與歷史神學概念
在基督宗教史、新約聖經學與諾斯底主義（Gnosticism）研究中，耶穌（Jesus of Nazareth） 與 抹大拉的馬利亞（Mary Magdalene / 瑪利亞·瑪達肋納） 的關係是貫穿正統神學與民間傳奇最受爭議且極具吸引力的議題：
正統新約福音書的定位（Canonical Gospels）：
關鍵門徒與資助者：在新約福音書（如《路加福音》）中，馬利亞是被耶穌驅逐七個惡鬼後跟隨祂的女性門徒，並資助耶穌團隊的傳道事工。
十字架與空墳墓的見證人：在耶穌被釘十字架、埋葬以及復活的核心時刻，抹大拉的馬利亞都在場；在《約翰福音》中，復活的耶穌首先向她顯現，並交付她向其他使徒宣告復活福音的使命，因此她獲得了早期教會賦予的尊稱——「使徒的使徒」（Apostolorum Apostola / Apostle to the Apostles）。
非正統與諾斯底文獻的描繪（Gnostic Gospels）：
特別靈性知識（Gnosis）的接受者：在二至三世紀的《瑪利亞福音》（Gospel of Mary）、《腓力福音》（Gospel of Philip）等次經/偽經中，馬利亞被描繪為比其他男使徒更理解耶穌深奧靈性教導的靈知伴侶，甚至使用了「 Companion / 伴侶（koinōnos）」等字眼，引發了後世關於「兩人生理或婚姻關係」的廣泛想像與文學創作（如《達文西密碼》）。
歷史與神學的實質：
正統歷史學家與神學者指出，沒有任何一世紀的文獻證據支持耶穌與抹大拉馬利亞曾結婚或有肉體關係；但她在早期基督教運動中作為頂級女性領導者與復活核心見證人的地位，是無庸置疑的。
同源詞：
Apostle to the Apostles（使徒的使徒）
canonical gospels（正統/正典福音書）
apocrypha / gnostic gospels（次經/諾斯底福音書）
koinōnos（希臘文：伴侶/夥伴）。
