Magdala? Herod's Steward?
Echoes of a pre-Capernaeum HJ.
Resources!!
[Martha and Mary, John and Luke parallel?
How could that be?
Even AOJ makes no mention.]
Women watching and hearing
[What resources can they offer now?]
the shift of resources to Jesus crucified.
No evil spirit and infirmity filters to interfere
with perception!
