In the context of the Gospels, these women are often named, such as Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome. Their presence highlights the important role women played in Jesus' ministry, a radical inclusion in a patriarchal society. Historically, women were not typically given prominence in religious movements, yet the Gospels consistently acknowledge their faithfulness and service.had followed Jesus The Greek word for "followed" is "ἀκολουθέω" (akoloutheó), which implies not just physical following but also discipleship and commitment. These women were not mere observers; they were active participants in Jesus' ministry. Their following of Jesus signifies a deep spiritual commitment and a willingness to learn from Him, embodying the call to discipleship that Jesus extends to all believers.and ministered to Him The term "ministered" comes from the Greek "διακονέω" (diakoneó), meaning to serve or attend to. This service was likely both practical and spiritual, providing for Jesus' needs and supporting His mission. In a broader biblical context, this reflects the Christian call to serve one another, as Jesus Himself came not to be served, but to serve (<a href="/mark/10-45.htm">Mark 10:45</a>). The women's ministry to Jesus is a model of humble service and dedication.while He was in Galilee Galilee was the region where much of Jesus' early ministry took place. It was a diverse area, both culturally and religiously, and served as a backdrop for many of Jesus' teachings and miracles. The mention of Galilee underscores the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and the foundational role these women played from the start.
