Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza Joanna is mentioned as a follower of Jesus, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of His disciples. Her association with Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, suggests she had access to the upper echelons of society. Her husband, Chuza, managed Herod's household, indicating a position of significant responsibility and trust. This connection to Herod's court underscores the reach of Jesus' ministry, even into influential circles. Joanna's involvement demonstrates the breaking of social barriers, as women were not typically recognized as disciples in Jewish culture. Her presence fulfills the prophecy of the inclusive nature of the Messiah's kingdom, as seen in Isaiah 61:1-3, which speaks of good news for all people.

Teaching Points The Role of Women in MinistryWomen played a crucial role in Jesus' ministry, providing support and resources. This challenges cultural norms and highlights the value of women in God's work. Stewardship of Resources Joanna, Susanna, and others used their means to support Jesus. This teaches us about the importance of using our resources for God's kingdom. Faith in Action The women’s actions demonstrate faith in action.

Breaking Social Barriers The involvement of women from different social standings shows the inclusivity of Jesus' ministry, breaking down societal barriers. Commitment to the Gospel Their commitment serves as an example of dedication to the gospel, encouraging us to consider how we can support ministry today.(3) Joanna, the wife of Chuza.--Here again we have a convert of the upper class. The name was the feminine form of Joannes, and appears in modern languages abbreviated into Joanne, Joan, or Jane. Nothing further is known of Chuza--but the "steward" (the same word as in Matthew 20:8, and the "tutor" or "guardian" of Galatians 4:2) of the Tetrarch, the manager of his income and expenditure, must have been a man of some mark. We may think of him and his wife as having probably come under the influence of the Baptist or of Manaen, the foster-brother of the Tetrarch, probably also of one of the "servants" to whom Antipas imparted his belief that John the Baptist was risen from the dead. Joanna appears again in the history of the Resurrection (Luke 24:10). It is possible, as suggested in the Note on John 4:46, that he may have been identical with the "nobleman" or "member of the royal household" at Capernaum. On this supposition her ministration may have been the result of overflowing gratitude for the restored life of her son. Susanna.--The name, which meant a "lily" (comp. Rhoda, "a rose," in Acts 12:13, and Tamar, "a palm," in Genesis 38:6, 2Samuel 13:2, as parallel instances of feminine names derived from flowers or trees), meets us in the well-known Apocryphal addition to the Book of Daniel known as Susanna and the Elders. Nothing further is known of the person thus named. . . . Verse 3. - Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward. She must have been a person of wealth and high rank at the court of Herod Antipas. There were evidently not a few believers in that wicked and dissolute centre. Some years later we read of Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod, as a notable Christian (Acts 13:1). Even Herod himself, we know, at first heard John the Baptist gladly. and, after the terrible judicial murder, we find that unhappy prince fancying that his victim had risen from the dead. It has been suggested that this Chuza was the nobleman of Capernaum whose dying son was healed by Jesus (John 4:46). If this be the case, there would be a special reason for the loving devotion of this Joanna to the Master. She reappears among the faithful women in the history of the Resurrection (ch. 24:10). Susanna. The name signifies "lily." The Jews were fond of giving the names of flowers and trees to their girls; thus Rhoda, a rose (Acts 12:13), Tamar, a palm (2 Samuel 13:2), among many instances. Of this Susanna nothing further is known.Parallel Commentaries ...
