Reading Luke 8 I noticed something interesting. We read:
8 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him[a] from their substance.
Interesting. We are told that women provided assist, out of their substance, to Jesus. We are also told that one Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward was there. This is really significant. However, with this fact the scripture doesn't mention this over and over again. We aren't given any more information about Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward. The wife of a steward of a Roman government official.
If you'd ask me this smacks of a real account, not fiction. Fiction would have gone on and on about this. But this is just of the iceberg in regards to what gives the gospel accounts authenticity.
