Friends, * our Gospel today celebrates the female disciples of Jesus*. One
of the principal marks of Jesus' teaching is the overturning of social
conventions. *In service of what he calls the Kingdom of God, God's way of
ordering the world*, he says and does *all sorts of outrageous things.*



And *one of the most striking and surprising *of Jesus' moves *is a radical
inclusion of women. *He *allows women into his inner circle* (practically
unheard of for a rabbi). *He speaks publicly to the woman at the
well*. He *engages
the Syro-Phoenician woman*. He *forgives the woman caught in adultery.*
Also, *the first witnesses of the Resurrection are women.*



Luke, who told this story, was a companion of Paul, and his Gospel reflects
many of Paul's themes. *Paul famously says, "in Christ, there is no slave
or free, no Jew or Greek, no male or female". **This was very radical stuff
in those times, for **these were some of the most basic social divisions of
the ancient world. *Free men were a lot better off than slaves, *Jews had
huge advantages over Greeks, and males were seen as superior to females*. *But
not anymore, not in light of the Kingdom of God that Jesus announces.*
