Who was the woman who wiped Jesus face on the way to the cross?
” Answer: The Bible does not record the account of a woman wiping Jesus face with the towels. The tradition is that the womans name was Veronica. This tradition is very old, but there is no way to know if there is any truth to it. However, since the Bible does not say, we should not give the account any authority. If this event was important, it would have been mentioned in the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion. Question: “Does the Bible record a raven plucking the eyes out of the unrepentant criminal on the cross?” Answer: The Bible does not record such an event. It may have indeed occurred, but the Bible does not say. It was common for scavenger birds to attack crucified people, often even before they died. Perhaps this is a symbolic representation of the demons claiming the unrepentant sinner at the time of his death. Question: “Was the woman in John chapter 8 that the people wanted to stone really Mary Magdalene?” Answer: The Bible never specifically identifies the woman in John 8
