Context of Luke 8:3
1And it came to pass afterwards that he went through [the country] city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve [were] with him, 2and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance. 4And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable: 5The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;

Commentaries on Luke 8:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Herod's steward - Though the original word, , signifies sometimes the inspector or overseer of a province, and sometimes a tutor of children, yet here it seems to signify the overseer of Herod's domestic affairs: the steward of his household. Steward of the household was an office in the king's palace by s. 24, of Hen. VIII. The person is now entitled lord steward of the king's household, and the office is, I believe, more honorable and of more importance…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Herod‘s steward - Herod Antipas, who reigned in Galilee. He was a son of Herod the Great.

Some of these women, like Joanna, came from wealthy families and gave financial support to the ministry of Jesus.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward--If the steward of such a godless, cruel, and licentious wretch as Herod Antipas (see on Mr 6:14, &c.) differed greatly from himself, his post would be no easy or enviable one. That he was a disciple of Christ is very improbable, though he might be favorably disposed towards Him. But what we know not of him, and may fear he lacked, we are sure his wife possessed. Healed either of "evil spirits" or of some one of…Read the comment
