Misconception: Mary Magdalene was a prostitute

Contrary to popular belief, the Bible never identifies Mary Magdalene as a prostitute. While she was a significant figure in the New Testament and had a rough past, being delivered from seven demons, the Bible never suggests she had been a prostitute. The conflation of the sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50 with Mary Magdalene has led to the false characterization of her as a former prostitute.
