ArchivesRe: Maria, Mariam and Marian
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
According to online versions of the original Greek:
Matthew has Mariam (1:20) for Jesus's mother and Maria (27:56) for the other people named Mary.
Mark only refers to Jesus's mother in the genitive as Marias (6:3). Others are called Maria (15:40).
Luke calls the mother Mariam in all cases except for Acts 1:14 where she is Maria. The others (including Lazarus's sister) he calls Maria.
John doesn't refer to the mother by name. He calls Lazarus's sister Maria or Marian (or is that an inflection?) and all the others Maria.
Romans 16:6 has a Mariam.
