Context — Women Minister to Jesus

1Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him, 2as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable: 5“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

Luke 8:3 Summary

[This verse, Luke 8:3, shows us that some women, including Joanna and Susanna, were supporting Jesus and the disciples out of their own means, which means they were using their own resources to help them. This is similar to the way we are called to serve and support one another in Galatians 6:2 and Romans 12:10-13. We can learn from their example by using our own resources to help and serve others, just like they did. By doing so, we can show our love and gratitude for what God has done for us, as seen in 1 John 3:16-18.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Joanna and what was her role in Jesus' ministry?

Joanna was the wife of Chuza, the household manager of Herod, and she was one of the women who supported Jesus' ministry out of her own means, as seen in Luke 8:3, similar to the way the prophet Elijah was supported by the widow in 1 Kings 17:8-16.

Why did these women, including Joanna and Susanna, minister to Jesus and the disciples?

These women ministered to Jesus and the disciples out of their own means because they had been healed and transformed by Jesus, as mentioned in Luke 8:2, and they wanted to show their gratitude and support for His ministry, much like the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37.

What does it mean to minister out of one's own means?

Ministering out of one's own means, as seen in Luke 8:3, means to use one's own resources, such as time, money, and talents, to support and serve others, as taught in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 and demonstrated by the Macedonian churches in 2 Corinthians 8:1-5.

How can we apply this verse to our own lives and ministry?

We can apply this verse by using our own resources to support and serve others, just like Joanna and the other women, and by being grateful for the ways God has healed and transformed us, as seen in Psalm 103:1-5 and Ephesians 2:8-10.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can use my own resources to minister to others, just like Joanna and the other women?
How has God healed and transformed me, and how can I show my gratitude through my actions and service?
What are some ways I can support and serve my local church and community, using my own means and resources?
How can I balance my own needs and responsibilities with my desire to minister to others, as seen in Matthew 6:33 and 1 Timothy 5:8?

Gill's Exposition on Luke 8:3

And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward,.... Joanna, or Juchan, as the Syriac version calls her, was a name, among the Jews, for a woman, as Jochanan, or John, was for a man.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Luke 8:3

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Luke 8:3

See Poole on ""

Trapp's Commentary on Luke 8:3

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’ s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. Ver. 3. Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’ s steward] Or treasurer, as the Arabic calleth him, his vicar-general, or protetrarch. This court lady followeth Christ: so did Serena the empress, who was therefore martyred by her husband Diocletian. So Elizabeth, Queen of Denmark; of whom Luther testifieth (in Epist. ad Jo. Agrieol.) that she died a faithful professor of the reformed religion; and addeth, Scilicet Christus etiam aliquando voluit Reginam in coelum vehere. Christ would once save a queen: which he doth not often.

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 8:3

(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, 2 Samuel 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. Many others.—It seems clear that St. Luke must have come into personal contact with some, at least, of those whom he describes so fully. They were, we may well believe, among the “eye-witnesses and ministers of the word” (Luke 1:2) from whom he derived much of his information. (See Introduction.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 8:3

Verse 3. Herod's steward] Though the original word, επιτροπος, signifies sometimes the inspector or overseer of a province, and sometimes a tutor of children, yet here it seems to signify the overseer of Herod's domestic affairs: the steward of his household. Steward of the household was an office in the king's palace by s. 24, of Hen. VIII. The person is now entitled lord steward of the king's household, and the office is, I believe, more honourable and of more importance than when it was first created. Junius derives the word from the Islandic stivardur, which is compounded of stia, work, and vardur, a keeper, or overseer: hence our words, warder, warden, ward, guard, guardian, &c. The Greek word in Hebrew letters is frequent in the rabbinical writings, אפיטדופום, and signifies among them the deputy ruler of a province. See Clarke on Lu 16:1. In the Islandic version, it is forsionarmanns. Unto him] Instead of αυτω, to him, meaning Christ, many of the best MSS. and versions have αυτοις, to them, meaning both our Lord and the twelve apostles, see Lu 8:1. This is unquestionably the true meaning. Christ receives these assistances and ministrations, says pious Quesnel,- 1. To honour poverty by subjecting himself to it. 2. To humble himself in receiving from his creatures. 3. That he may teach the ministers of the Gospel to depend on the providence of their heavenly Father. 4. To make way for the gratitude of those he had healed. And, 5. That he might not be burthensome to the poor to whom he went to preach.

Cambridge Bible on Luke 8:3

3. Joanna] She is mentioned only in Luke 24:10, but had apparently been healed of some infirmity.the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward] The court of Antipas was well aware of the ministry and claims of Jesus. Not only had John the Baptist been a familiar figure there, but Manaen, Herod’s fosterbrother, early became a Christian (Acts 13:1), and whether Chuzas be the courtier (basilikos, E. V. ‘nobleman’) of John 4:46 or not, that courtier could only have been in the retinue of Antipas, and must have made known the healing of his son by Jesus. The word epitropos, ‘administrator,’ conveys the impression of a higher rank than steward (oikonomos). The Rabbis adopted the word in Hebrew letters, and said that Obadiah was Ahab’s epitropos. Manaen at Antioch was perhaps the source of St Luke’s special knowledge about the Herodian family.Susanna] The name means ‘Lily.’many others] See Matthew 27:55.which ministered unto him of their substance] or ‘to them,’ B, D, F, G, H, &c. This notice is deeply interesting as throwing light on the otherwise unsolved problem of the means of livelihood possessed by Jesus and His Apostles. They had a common purse which sufficed not only for their own needs but for those of the poor (John 13:29). The Apostles had absolutely forsaken their daily callings, but we may suppose that some of them (like Matthew and the sons of the wealthier fisherman Zebedee) had some small resources of their own, and here we see that these women, some of whom (as tradition says of Mary of Magdala) were rich, helped to maintain them. It must also be borne in mind (1) that the needs of an Oriental are very small. A few dates, a little parched corn, a draught of water, a few figs or grapes plucked from the roadside trees, suffice him; and in that climate he can sleep during most of the year in the open air wrapped up in the same outer garment which serves him for the day. Hence the maintenance of a poor man in Palestine is wholly different from the standard of maintenance required in such countries as ours with their many artificial needs. And yet (2) in spite of this our Lord was so poor as to be homeless (Luke 9:58) and without the means of even paying the small Temple-tribute of a didrachm (about Isaiah 6 d.), which was demanded from every adult Jew. Matthew 17:24; 2 Corinthians 8:9.

Barnes' Notes on Luke 8:3

Herod’s steward - Herod Antipas, who reigned in Galilee. He was a son of Herod the Great. The word “steward” means one who has charge of the domestic affairs of a family, to provide for it.

Whedon's Commentary on Luke 8:3

3. Joanna—The feminine of John, (see note on Luke 1:13,) and the same as Jane. Chuza… Herod’s steward—The manager of his property concerns and his household affairs.
