Chuza
Who he was
Chuza is mentioned in Luke 8:3 as the steward of Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee. Chuza's wife, Joanna, is named among the women who supported Jesus and His disciples out of their own means. The fact that Chuza held a prominent position in Herod's court suggests that he and Joanna were wealthy and influential. Joanna's devotion to Jesus, despite her husband's role in Herod's service, indicates her deep faith and commitment.
