Chuza is a biblical figure mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. He is identified as the household manager or steward of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea during the time of Jesus' ministry. The reference to Chuza is brief but significant, providing insight into the diverse backgrounds of those who followed and supported Jesus.

Biblical Reference:

Chuza is mentioned in Luke 8:3: "Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means."

Historical Context:

Herod Antipas, the ruler whom Chuza served, was a son of Herod the Great and is known for his role in the events leading to the execution of John the Baptist and his involvement in the trial of Jesus. As the manager of Herod's household, Chuza would have held a position of considerable responsibility and influence, overseeing the domestic affairs and possibly the financial matters of the tetrarch's estate.

Joanna, Wife of Chuza:

Joanna, Chuza's wife, is noted as one of the women who followed Jesus and provided for Him and His disciples. Her involvement indicates that she, and possibly Chuza by extension, was a supporter of Jesus' ministry. Joanna's presence among Jesus' followers highlights the reach of His message across different social strata, including those connected to the ruling class.

Significance:

The mention of Chuza and Joanna underscores the diverse composition of Jesus' followers, which included individuals from various walks of life, including those with connections to political and social elites. This diversity illustrates the universal appeal of Jesus' teachings and the breaking down of societal barriers within the early Christian community.

Chuza's role, though not extensively detailed in the Scriptures, serves as a reminder of the often unseen and unrecorded contributions of those who supported the ministry of Jesus. His household's involvement, through Joanna, in the support of Jesus' mission reflects the transformative impact of Jesus' message, reaching even into the households of those associated with the ruling authorities of the time.Chuza
