Who Was Joanna in the Bible?

Who Was Joanna in the Bible?

Joanna was a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ mentioned in Luke 8 and Luke 24. She was the wife of Chuza, who managed the household of Herod Antipas. Joanna provided for and followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. She was present at the crucifixion of Christ, discovered His empty tomb on resurrection morning, and proclaimed the risen Savior to the disciples. Joanna exemplified courage, devotion, and service as she supported the ministry of Jesus.
The Gospels first introduce you to Joanna, the wife of Chuza, in Luke 8:3: “Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance” (NKJV). Here she is listed among the women who traveled with and contributed to the support of Jesus and His disciples. The title “Herod’s steward” indicates that Joanna’s husband Chuza held an important position managing the household of Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee and Perea under the Roman Empire. As Chuza’s wife, Joanna would have been a woman of means and influence. Yet she chose to leave her privileged life behind to follow Jesus.
