[Footnote a: This anointing in Galilee must be distinct from the anointing at Bethany, near Jerusalem, more than a year later. This sinful and penitent woman is represented by a very late tradition as being Mary Magdalene, and hence all the popular uses of the term Magdalen. But that notion has no historical support whatever, and it becomes violently improbable when we find that in the very next paragraph Luke introduces Mary Magdalene as a new figure in the history. Some men even identify Mary of Bethany with this woman that was a sinner and also with Mary Magdalene, a medley of medieval mysticism.] _In sections 60 to 63 Jesus makes a second (three in all) tour of Galilee, this time with all the Twelve. Intense hostility of the Pharisees is aroused by the work. They make the blasphemous accusation that Jesus is in league with Satan. Even the kindred of Jesus fear that he is beside himself because of the excitement and the charges._ § 60. THE SECOND TOUR OF GALILEE Luke 8:1-3 1 And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the [1]good tidings of 2 the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve, and certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary that 3 was called Magdalene, from whom seven [2]devils had gone out, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto [3]them of their substance. [Footnote 1: Or, _gospel_.] [Footnote 2: Gr. _demons_.] [Footnote 3: Many ancient authorities read _him_.] _Notice that the events of §§ 61-66 all occurred on the same day, called the Busy Day._[a] [Footnote a: This "Busy Day" is just one of many such days in the Master's Ministry. See, for instance, the last day of his public ministry in the temple in Jerusalem. Observe Jesus in the _forenoon_ teaching a crowded audience (Mark 3:19), some of whom insult and blaspheme him, and others demand a sign, and at length his mother and brethren try to carry him off as insane (comp. Mark 3:21); in the _afternoon_ giving a group of most remarkable parables, several of which he interprets; towards night crossing the Lake in a boat, so tired and worn that he sleeps soundly amid the alarming storm; then healing the Gadarene demoniacs, and returning by boat, apparently the same evening. What a day of toil and trial.] § 61. BLASPHEMOUS ACCUSATION OF LEAGUE WITH BEELZEBUB Galilee
