<p> <b> | <p> <b> [[Chuza]] </b> <b> ( </b> Χουζᾶς).—The ἐπίτροπος or house-steward of Herod the tetrarch, and husband of [[Joanna]] one of the women who, having been healed either of a sickness or of an evil spirit, attached themselves to Jesus and ‘ministered unto him of their substance’ ( Luke 8:3). Chuza is identified by Mr. Stanley Cook ( <i> Glossary of [[Aramaic]] [[Inscriptions]] </i> , Cambr. 1898) with the father of one Hayyân whose family erected a rock-cut tomb at el-Hegr in Arabia, with the inscription: לחיןבדבוזאאחדה ‘To Hayyân, son of Kûzâ, his posterity (erected this tomb).’ The monument is probably of the 1st cent. b.c. or a.d. Blass (of the Gospels), on the authority of , a 7th cent. [[Ms]] of the Vulgate, identifies the name with the Greek Κυδἰας; but this seems more than doubtful. Chuza may have been of a Nabataean family, married to a [[Jewish]] wife. Joanna is also mentioned ( Luke 24:10) as one of the women who came early to the sepulchre to anoint the Lord’s body (See Joanna). </p> <p> <i> [[Chuzas]] </i> is preferred by the American Committee of Revisers as the more proper spelling of Chuza. </p> <p> Literature.—Expositor, v. ix.

<p> [pron. Cuza] (rather Chuzas, Χουζάς, for Chald. חוּוָא, i.e. אֲחוּוָא , possession), the "steward" (ἐπιτροπος ) of Herod (Antipas), whose wife Joanna (q.v.), having been cured by our Lord either of possession by an evil spirit or of a disease, became attached to that body of women who accompanied him (A.D. 27) on his journeyings ( Luke 8:3); and, together with | <p> [pron. Cuza] (rather Chuzas, Χουζάς, for Chald. חוּוָא, i.e. אֲחוּוָא '', possession'' )'','' the "steward" (ἐπιτροπος ) of Herod (Antipas), whose wife Joanna (q.v.), having been cured by our Lord either of possession by an evil spirit or of a disease, became attached to that body of women who accompanied him [[(A.D.]] 27) on his journeyings ( Luke 8:3); and, together with Mary [[Magdalen]] and "Mary the mother of James," having come early to the sepulcher on the morning of the resurrection [[(A.D.]] 29), to bring spices and ointments to complete the burial, brought word to the apostles that the Lord was risen ( Luke 24:10). These circumstances would seem to imply that she was at this time a widow. </p> | ||
