The more I read the Bible the more I can see the people in the narrative.
I'm studying Luke again.
Luke 8:1-3
1 Some time afterward he went on through towns and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and disabilities: Mary (called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna the wife of Cuza (Herodʼs household manager), Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their own resources.
(8:2 a sn There is an important respect shown to women in this text, as their contributions were often ignored in ancient society.)
The Apostle Paul credited women for helping him and for the strong faith. I've just missed the verses above withn this gospel for too long.
