Season 7, Leaders in the Cause of Christ: Women Disciples, the Conclusion

Matthew, Mark, and Luke acknowledge the women who traveled with Jesus. Matthew and Mark do not mention these female disciples until they are found at Jesus’s cross. Luke gives more details about them, describing them as ministering to Jesus, and along with Jesus, from their own resources and ability. These women received teaching and revelation from Jesus along with his other disciples and were given Jesus’s call to proclaim the truth they received.
The Gospel of John’s less formal and more detailed portrayal provides an organic view of Jesus’s call to discipleship and apostleship, supplementing rather than duplicating the Synoptic Gospels’ accounts. John took great care in showing a direct corollary between Jesus’s calling of two different women, and the calling of Jesus’s first disciples.
The high view of Christ and of the Scriptures will lead modern Christians to hearken to John’s portrayal of women and men in Jesus’s apostolic mission, and therefore support Christ’s work today in calling women and men to every level of leadership in the church.
