Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek ton hyparchonton autais {ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐταῖς | ek tôn hū-par-khón-tōn au-taîs} indicates source or means, with the participle hyparchonton functioning substantively as “the things that belonged to them,” and autais specifying that the resources were their own. The English renderings preserve the appositional structure by placing “the wife of Chuza” immediately after Joanna, represent the imperfect with “were serving” or “supported” to show ongoing action, and interpret the prepositional phrase with “out of their own resources/means” to reflect the idea that their ministry arose from what they themselves possessed.
