"
The Bible insists that the Word is not external, to be located, pursued and assimilated, but rather readily available within every human mind (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). The dry land of conscious understanding may be surrounded by an ocean of not formalized information (Matthew 14:30) but the Revelator predicts a future in which this ocean no longer exists and everything inside our heads in recognized and named (Revelation 21:1). Not everything that comes out of the sea and tries to clamber onto the shore of consciousness is good news (Revelation 13:1) but this mechanism does explain why the pre-Constantine tradition associated Jesus with fish — the familiar Greek word Ιχθυς, ichtus became considered an acronym for "Jesus Christ, son of God, Savior." Items that come out of the sea that surrounds the island of convention are to be retrieved by interpreters, who are thus fishermen (Jeremiah 16:6, 1 Corinthians 14:27-28)." ibid

There is four in your post.
"John's version of Mary Magdalene is consequently the most mature. He places the women not at a distance but by the cross. He calls them: "His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene" (19:25), and although this may seem like four women, they are really two: His mother and His mother's sister, namely Mary of Clopas and Mary Magdalene..." The amazing name Magdalene: meaning and etymology
