Note: Many early Mormon leaders (who were polygamists), taught that Jesus was a polygamist. Indeed, given the story of Mary and Martha in this lesson - it is worth pointing out this quote by early Mormon apostle Orson Pratt: "One thing is certain, that there were several holy women that greatly loved Jesus - such as Mary, and Martha her sister, and Mary Magdalene; and Jesus greatly loved them, and associated with them much; and when He arose from the dead, instead of first showing Himself to His chosen witnesses, the Apostles, He first appeared to these women, or at least to one of them - namely Mary Magdalene. Now, it would be very natural for a husband in the resurrection to appear first to his own dear wives, and afterwards show himself to his other friends. If all the acts Jesus were written, we no doubt should learn that these beloved women were his wives." (The Seer, p.159)
