Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of uncertain origin; possibly of Semitic origin, related to the Hebrew name חוּזָא (Chuza).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The name Χουζᾶς does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, but it may be related to the Hebrew name חוּזָא (Chuza), which is not explicitly listed in the Hebrew entries. The connection is primarily based on phonetic similarity and the cultural context of names during the period. Usage: The name Χουζᾶς appears in the New Testament as the name of a steward of Herod Antipas. It is specifically mentioned in the Gospel of Luke. Context: Χουζᾶς (Chuza) is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke as the husband of Joanna, one of the women who followed Jesus and supported His ministry. In Luke 8:3, it is noted that Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, was among the women who provided for Jesus and His disciples out of their own means. This indicates that Chuza held a significant position in Herod's household, managing the domestic affairs and possibly the financial matters of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee. The mention of Joanna, Chuza's wife, highlights the diverse backgrounds of those who supported Jesus, including individuals from influential and affluent circles. The role of Chuza, though not directly detailed in the text, can be inferred as one of responsibility and trust within Herod's administration. His wife's involvement with Jesus' ministry suggests that Chuza may have been sympathetic to or supportive of her actions, although the text does not provide explicit details about his personal beliefs or actions.
