account of Jesus’ second year of preaching. Her distinguishing name, Magdalene (meaning “Of, or Belonging to, Magdala”), likely stems from the town of Magdala. This town was located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, about halfway between Capernaum and Tiberias. It has been suggested that Magdala was this Mary’s hometown or place of residence. Mary Magdalene is mentioned most prominently in connection with the death and resurrection of Jesus.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Mt 27:55, 56,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/1" data-bid="3-2" class="b"> 61;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/2" data-bid="3-3" class="b"> Mr 15:40;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/3" data-bid="3-4" class="b"> Lu 24:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/4" data-bid="3-5" class="b"> Joh 19:25</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/8/331" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-332"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Joh 19:25; 20:18</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-332" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-332" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p725" data-pid="725" class="se"></p> <p id="p726" data-pid="726" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/699/0"><em>Imitate Their Faith,</em> article 6</a></p> <div id="p727" data-pid="727"><p data-pid="727" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/700/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="727" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/700/0">6/1/2003, pp. 4-5</a></p> </div><p id="p728" data-pid="728" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p215" data-pid="215" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/213/0">ijwia article 6;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/213/2"> w03 6/1 4-5;</a></p> <p id="p216" data-pid="216" class="sx"></p> <p id="p260" data-pid="260" class="sx"><span class="ni">w48 85</span></p> <p id="p261" data-pid="261" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-8-3" data-section-citation="042008003042008003"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 8:3</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p8" data-pid="8" class="s5"><strong>Joanna:</strong> This is a shortened feminine form of the Hebrew name Jehohanan, meaning “Jehovah Has Shown Favor; Jehovah Has Been Gracious.” Joanna, one of the women who had been cured by Jesus, is mentioned only twice in the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/1/0">Christian Greek Scriptures</a> and only in Luke’s <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/2/0">Gospel</a> account.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070652/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Lu 24:10</a>.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" class="s5"><strong>Chuza:</strong> Herod Antipas’ <strong>man in charge,</strong> or steward, possibly of domestic affairs.</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" class="s5"><strong>were ministering to them:</strong> Or “were supporting (providing for) them.” The Greek word <em>di·a·ko·neʹo</em> can refer to caring for the physical needs of others by obtaining, cooking, and serving food, and so forth.

to their parents. In this context, it is used in the sense of an only child. The same Greek word is also used of the “only” son of a widow in Nain and of a man’s “only” son whom Jesus cured of a demon.
