Who was
Joanna mentioned in Luke 24:10?
She
is only mentioned in Luke, in two verses. This is all the information
there is on her. Here is Smith's Bible Dictionary entry for
Joanna:
The name of
a woman, occurring twice in (Luke
8:3;
24:10) but evidently denoting the
same person, (A.D. 28-30.) In the first passage she is expressly stated
to have been "wife of Chuza, steward of Herod," that is, Antipas,
tetrarch of Galilee.
The wife of Herod's steward made her a person to be noticed, I'm sure.
Perhaps she was mentioned the way a church today might point
out the "wife of the governor's secretary."
