At the time of Jesus the place of the woman was totally regulated, within her house and at the service of the man (father, brother, husband). The Gospel of Luke relates extensively the image of the Jewish woman dominated by the house, the state and the temple, although at the same time it brings to the scene the prophetess, the impure, the foreigner. In the world of the New Testament nothing is so linear, nor is it really simple to interpret. 

In this sense, Pastor Mariela Pereyra, from the United Evangelical Lutheran Church (IELU) proposes to read this text, from the Gospel of Luke, in which, on the other hand, there are stories of women and daily scenes of discipleship. Among them, texts with challenging and transforming dialogues of Jesus with women.
