But this is where this narrative is really coming from. So during this time period, about two to three years, Jesus of Nazareth is doing his public ministry. He's gaining a following along with his 12 apostles. There's also a woman who travels with him, Mary of Magdalene. It's said that Jesus exorcised seven demons from her. She's a constant companion as well. She's mentioned 12 times in the Gospel, more than any other woman in the Gospels.
