Exegesis
The verse opens with kai {Καὶ | Kaí}, linking this scene to the preceding narrative and marking a new stage in the story.
The coordinated subject group is expressed by three nominative phrases in sequence: Maria hē Magdalēnē {Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ | María hē Magdalēnḗ}, Maria hē tou Iakōbou {Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου | María hē tou Iakṓbou}, kai Salōmē {καὶ Σαλώμη | kaí Salṓmē}, with the article plus genitive construction hē tou Iakōbou identifying the second Mary relationally as “the one of James,” that is, his mother.
