Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 27

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 27:56
  
  Mary Magdalene: Her distinguishing name Magdalene (meaning “Of, or Belonging to, Magdala”) likely stems from the town of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee about halfway between Capernaum and Tiberias. It has been suggested that Magdala was Mary’s hometown or place of residence.—See study notes on Mt 15:39; Lu 8:2.
  
  James: Also called “James the Less.”—Mr 15:40.
  
  Joses: Some ancient manuscripts read “Joseph” instead of “Joses.” In the parallel account at Mr 15:40, most ancient manuscripts read “Joses.”
  
  mother of the sons of Zebedee: That is, the mother of the apostles James and John.—See study notes on Mt 4:21; 20:20.
