Describe the scene of the journey to Mary Magdalene's former home in the tiny, extremely impoverished village of Magdala. How do you think the group feels once it has seen Mary's home and is on its way out?
Magdala is another location fraught with beggars and sickening in its poverty level, and Twain's group marches in to take some time among the people, whose very existence is a daily struggle, just to see a house. It appears that, though walking in the footsteps of Jesus, this little group is not as charitable as would be expected, and their visit probably brings their excitement level down a notch or two.
