Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:2-3

"and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod`s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance." — Luke 8:2-3 (ASV)

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirit and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

There is something for the twelve to do, and there is something for the holy women to do. We cannot do without either of them. And in that last great day, when the rewards are distributed, there will be as much for Joanna as for John, and as much for Mary Magdalene as for Simon Peter. Did they not each, according to their utility, serve the Lord Jesus Christ?
