CHUZA

(Gk. Chouzás)

An “official” (NRSV “steward”) of Herod Antipas. His precise office is unclear (cf. Matt. 20:8; Gal. 4:2). Chuza’s wife Joanna was among Jesus’ followers (Luke 8:3), suggesting that Jesus’ message reached even the aristocracy. Joanna’s presence among Jesus’ followers has led to speculations that either Chuza had died before she began following Jesus, or that he himself was also a convert; neither is suggested by the text. Chuza may have been a Nabatean, as the name Chuza has been found in Nabatean and Syrian inscriptions.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
