Still learning from the Bible


So who did bankroll the ministry of Jesus, they say it was possible, even likely, that Jesus and his followers received donations from supporters, even possibly substantial ones from some of the rich people who were drawn to his ministry despite , here is where Jesus teaching would be very relevant,  his preaching on the perils of wealth.
The Gospel of Luke gives us a glimpse of how Jesus' ministry functioned on a practical level:
"Soon afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources."
 Fascinating thing about the bible for myself is how l am still learning stuff.
Here are three names above that l failed to read when looking at these accounts.Also rarely heard any sermons or teaching about the Women who strong in the mission support of Jesus.
l start to ask important question, but also try to seek answers.
 Did women and how did women support with money the ministry of Jesus?
Is it only due to custom that this fact is overlooked?
Why and for what reason did this happen is it against the normal

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
