One sentence in particular, stood out to me – ‘Mary, who also sat at the Jesus’ feet and heard His word.’
I wondered, ‘Why was this specifically mentioned in Luke’s narrative, and is this mentioned of anyone else?’ I discovered it is. In Acts 22:3 Paul writes, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city (Jerusalem) at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law…” Gamaliel was a Pharisee who taught the law and was highly respected by all the Jewish people.
