In verses 2 and 3 Luke goes on to say, "And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's stew ard, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them out of their possessions." In 8:1-3 we see that the twelve called ones were fol lowing the Savior and that the healed women were ministering to the Savior and His followers out of their own possessions. What a beautiful picture!
The women named in 8:2 and 3 ministered to the Lord and to the twelve out of their posses sions. It may have been that, under the Lord's sovereignty, the husbands of these women were wealthy. We may say that this wealth was the result of the Lord's exercise of His divine attri butes. Then the women exercised their human virtues to use their possessions to minister to the Lord and His disciples.
