Maria, Kleopas's wife is a New Testament woman. She is one of the three Marys who guide Christ on his way of life. It is also called the other Mary. Probably incorrect, this person is sometimes referred to as Maria van Klopas or Maria Jacobi.

Maria was married to Kleopas, Joseph's brother. She is thus the sister in law of Mary, the mother of Jesus and the aunt of Jesus.

Maria van Kleopas, together with Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Jesus, was under the cross to which Jesus was nailed (John 19). Maria van Klopas

In John 19:25 there is a klopas; This is probably someone else. Maria Jacobi

Based on the relationship between the names Kl (e) opas (Aramaic: Chalpaj) and Alfeüs (the Hebrew letter chet appears in Greek (LXX) more often with an alpha), some assume that Kl ( e) opas is the same as alfeüs. Then he would be the father of the younger disciple James (son of Alfeus). His wife Mary "the wife of Kl (e) opas" would be the mother of James, the son of Alfeus who is in Marcus 15:40; 16: 1 and Lucas 24:10. This Maria is sometimes referred to as Mary (Mater) Jacobi.
