Category:Women Disciples of Jesus (subject)
The Women Disciples of Jesus was an episode in the Ministry of Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke (8:1-3).
Overview
The presence of women disciples of Jesus is well-attested in ancient sources. In this passage, however, Luke is the only one to acknowledge that some women "provided" for the needs of the Jesus group "out of their resources." This is likely to reflect the Jewish-Hellenistic experience of Luke rather than the historical reality of the early Palestinian movement of Jesus.

Gospel of Luke
Luke (NRSV) -- [1] Soon afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, [2] as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, [3] and Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources.
