    Description

    Who was Joanna?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Joanna is mentioned in Luk.8.3 and Luk.24.10 as one of the women who followed Jesus and supported His ministry. She is described as the wife of Chuza, who was a steward in Herod's household. Along with other women, including Mary Magdalene and Susanna, Joanna provided financial support for Jesus and His disciples out of her own means.

    Joanna was also among the women who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion and later went to His tomb on the morning of His resurrection. In Luk.24.10, she is named as one of the women who reported the news of the empty tomb and the angels' message to the apostles. Her presence at these key moments in Jesus' life and her support of His ministry indicate her devotion and faith.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Joanna5 of 5 entities the graph connects to Joanna, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 1, events 3. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ChuzaSpouse of · 1 verseKinshipWomen, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary’s reportingTook part in · 3 versesCompanyTwo Of Them1 event · 19 versesMary Magdalene1 event · 14 versesMary1 event · 7 versesEventsJoanna

    Places

    Where this happens

    A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
