Joanna was a first-century follower of Jesus living in Galilee. As the wife of Chuza, the steward for Herod Antipas, she used her own resources to support Jesus and his disciples during their travels. The Gospels identify her as one of the women who had been healed of infirmities and who accompanied the apostles. She is notably recorded as a witness to the empty tomb following the crucifixion, having traveled to the site to bring spices.
