For this reason, the NT is full of women named Mary, and it is sometimes difficult to figure which Mary is which. In any case, we have Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the sister of Lazarus.he names of these other women are not given. Edit: Yes, also Mary the mother of James and John. This point also leads people to speculate that James and John were Jesus' brothers--but it is likely that this Mary is just another female character in the Bible named Mary.
