At dawn one morning, Jesus went to the temple to teach. The people gathered round, ready to be taught — but the Pharisees rushed up, bringing a woman with them.Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery,” they said. — John 8:4My heart catches at the thought of what this woman must have been feeling.

In the ancient context of Jesus’ day, women typically had little social or cultural influence. Their roles were usually limited to domestic life, and in the home and family they had very little control over money or possessions apart from their fathers or husbands. A Jewish man would pray three benedictions each day, one of which thanked God for no...
Jesus’ affirmation of women as students of religious instruction is made more clear in the account of the sisters Mary and Martha, close associates of Jesus. After inviting Jesus and his disciples into their home, Mary sat at Jesus’ feet listening to his teaching. Martha was distracted by all her chores of hospitality and said to Jesus, “Lord, don’...
Despite these accounts of Jesus’ teachings and actions regarding women, some still protest that he was not truly affirming and welcoming of women because he did not select any women to be apostles.

Sep 23, 2019 · But Jesus did the exact opposite. Not only did Jesus highlight a murderer, adulator, lier, doubters, and a guy who keeps telling people his wife is his sister and all sorts of messed up people. Jesus’ genealogy highlights 5 women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and of course Mary. You simply did not do that in the 1st Century.
Mar 22, 2021 · When Jesus finally reached the sick 12 year old, she was dead. But it wasn’t too late. Speaking Aramaic, their shared mother tongue, Jesus said, “Little girl, I say to you, arise,” and she got up (Mark 5:41). Whether little girls or prostitutes, whether despised foreigners or women made unclean by menstrual blood.

Oct 4, 2024 · The apostles did not learn the value of women from their culture. They learned it from their Master, Jesus. And Jesus treated women with the same love and respect with which He treated men. Jesus’ elevation of women began before He was even born. In God’s divine plan, He had chosen a woman to begin His process of redeeming mankind. God sent ...
