* In Mary, she claims a private revelation.
* In John, she is the first witness of Jesus’ resurrection, but does not teach secret doctrine.

==== - The Gospel of Mary promotes a Gnostic worldview: salvation via esoteric knowledge and inner enlightenment. ====
* It elevates Mary Magdalene’s role, often at odds with apostolic authority, especially Peter.
* The canonical Gospels teach salvation through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, with Mary as a respected witness but not a rival to the apostles.
