Exegesis
Appositional constructions then further define the women: Maria hē tou Klopa {Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ | Maria hē tou Klōpa} ‘Mary, the one of Clopas’ (understood as his wife) and kai Maria hē Magdalene {καὶ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή | kai Maria hē Mag-dalēnḗ} ‘and Mary the Magdalene’.
The repeated kai {καὶ | kaí} coordinates the series, and the pattern of article plus genitive (hē tou Klopa) and article plus epithet (hē Magdalene) serves to distinguish the different Marys. English rendering mirrors this syntactic layering by maintaining the sequence of nominative subjects and by expressing the genitive relationships with “His mother,” “His mother’s sister,” “the wife of Clopas,” and the descriptive title “Magdalene.”
