Luke 8:1-3 gives us insight into the women, both named like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and Salome, and other unnamed ladies that accompanied Jesus and His disciples as they traveled. They were a loyal group that had been cured of evil spirits & diseases and desired to support Jesus out of their private means of money & provisions…playing a very pivotal role in the early Church…funding missionary efforts & opening up their homes as places Jesus could teach. But what was so amazing about this was that in the day Rabbis flatly refused to teach women, so Jesus’ acceptance of them into His group of disciples and followers was highly unusual and unheard of. Just think, these ladies practiced hospitality as they served and all the while learned from the Master Himself as they witnessed miracles and listened and soaked in His teachings…so in a way they did both, “Follow Me.” and later after Jesus’ resurrection they were more than equipped to, “Go Home and Teach.”
