What was happening?
Luke names Mary Magdalene among women who accompanied and supported Jesus, saying seven demons had gone out from her. John places her at the empty tomb.

The Gospels do not identify her as a prostitute. In John, Jesus sends her with news of His resurrection; her testimony begins with His action, not a claim about her former occupation.
