Abstrakt

The Gospel According to Luke and Acts are distinctive in their overall portrayal of wo­men. Episodes involving women raise important questions concerning their origin and narrative function. The present study examines a well-known passage — the women who followed Jesus (Luke 8:1–3) — in order to address several key issues: who the women mentioned by Luke were, what roles they fulfilled, and, above all, why Luke, unlike the other evangelists, chose to mention them during Jesus’ public ministry. A close reading of the passage, attentive to its narrative details, yields interpretive insights that may be obscured by a strictly historical-critical approach.
