Salome Article
STEPBible TIPNR
In Mat 20:20-21, she approached Jesus with her sons, requesting that they be granted positions of honor and authority in His kingdom. This request demonstrated her ambition for her sons but also her limited understanding of the nature of Jesus' mission at the time. Jesus responded by teaching about the importance of humility and service in His kingdom (Mat 20:22-28). Salome is mentioned in Mrk 15:40 and Mrk 16:1 as one of the women who were present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and later went to His tomb on the morning of His resurrection. In Mrk 15:40, she is described as one of the women who watched the crucifixion from a distance, along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses. Her husband was Zebedee, according to hints at Matt 27.56 with Mrk 15:40. These women had followed Jesus and cared for His needs during His ministry in Galilee (Mrk 15:41). After the crucifixion, Salome, along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, bought spices to anoint Jesus' body (Mrk 16:1). They went to the tomb early on the first day of the week, intending to perform this act of devotion. However, when they arrived, they found the stone rolled away and a young man (an angel) who informed them that Jesus had risen (Mrk 16:2-6). The angel instructed them to tell the disciples, especially Peter, that Jesus would meet them in Galilee (Mrk 16:7). Salome's presence at both the crucifixion and the tomb on the morning of the resurrection highlights her devotion to Jesus and her role as a witness to these crucial events in the Christian faith.
Salome 1 Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
The wife of Zebedee and mother of James and John (Mat. 27:56), and probably the sister of Mary, the mother of our Lord (John 19:25). She sought for her sons places of honour in Christ’s kingdom (Matt. 20:20, 21; comp. 19:28). She witnessed the crucifixion (Mark 15:40), and was present with the other women at the sepulchre (Matt. 27:56).
