Joanna, wife of Chuza (Herod's household manager), stands among the women who traveled with Jesus and the Twelve, supporting them from their own means (Luke 8:3). Her presence signals the reach of Jesus' ministry into unexpected social circles—the very household of Herod Antipas. She reappears at the empty tomb (Luke 24:10), among the first witnesses to the resurrection, carrying spices to anoint Jesus' body and finding instead the angelic announcement of his rising. Her witness, though initially disbelieved by the apostles, forms part of the foundational testimony to the resurrection.
