Women who sustained the journey

Joanna & Susanna

Luke names them among the women accompanying and supporting Jesus’ ministry. Joanna is also named among those reporting the empty tomb.

Let the text introduce them.

Begin with Luke 8; Luke 24. Notice what the passage tells you, what it leaves unsaid, and what you may have brought to it from other retellings.

What question would you bring to this person’s story? Read slowly enough to notice a detail you have passed over before.

Sources: Luke 8; Luke 24. Images are imagined reconstructions. Where the biblical text gives few details, we preserve that uncertainty.
