They followed Him, sat under His teaching, and +helped fund everyone's travels. This was compeletly unheard of at this time. At +the time, women were definitely treated as second-class people. Rabbis refused +to teach women, they weren't allowed as valid witnesses in court, and generally +had fewer rights. Jesus didn't treat them that way though. + +Some people point to particular parts of the Bible and say it is anti-woman, +but more than any other ancient book it affirms the positive role of women in +the world and affords more protections to them if people follow its teachings. + +* * * + +Let us see Your Word as a whole and not just the parts we like or don't like, +so that we may know the complete truth.
