Senses in use

  1. Woman named among followers · dominant

    The nominative singular feminine form identifies a woman in two lists. In Luke 8:3 the APB renders “Joanna the wife of Chuza” among those providing from their resources, and in Luke 24:10 it renders Joanna among the women telling the apostles these things.

  2. Male name in a genealogy · rare

    In Luke 3:27, the genitive singular masculine form occurs within a chain of son-of relationships. The APB renders the sequence “the son of Joanna, the son of Rhesa,” placing the named person as father in that genealogy.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “Joanna” in all three verses. Its whole-verse translation identifies a wife, a witness with other women, and a father in a genealogy.
