Luke 8:1-3    “Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Jo-anna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”
