8:1 Afterward he was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,
2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary, called Magdalene (seven demons had come out of her);
3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who were supporting them from their possessions.
Commentary
(the following is from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, 1706 -- www.christianity.com)
"We are here told what Christ made the constant business of his life, it was teaching the gospel. Tidings of the kingdom of God are glad tidings [good news], and what Christ came to bring. Certain women attended upon him who ministered to him of their substance. It showed the mean [humble] condition to which the Savior humbled himself, that he needed their kindness, and his great humility, that he accepted it.
Though rich, yet for our sakes he became poor."
