3: And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna and many
others who ministered unto him of their substance.
Herod's Steward. Herod Antipas, who reigned in Galilee. He was a
son of Herod the Great. The word steward means one who has charge
of the domestic affairs of a family, to provide for it. This office
was generally held by a slave who was esteemed the most faithful,
and was often conferred as a reward of fidelity.
Ministered. Gave for his support.
Of their substance. Their property; their possessions. Christians then believed, when they professed to follow christ, that it was proper to give all up to him -- that is, to commit all that we have to his disposal; to be willing to part with it for the promotion of his glory, and to leave it when he calls us away from it.
