It can't be a mere coincidence, that Magdalene is found in the same story with James and John
(Magdalene being obviously Helen).

So prof Dennis MacDonald is correct in their identification, if a further evidence was necessary.

What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from his own mouth...

From who's own mouth? Which passage?
