ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Female disciples of Jesus

Okay, so a long time ago, there was a man named Jesus who had a lot of people who followed him and learned from him. Some of these followers were women! They were called female disciples of Jesus.

Just like the male disciples, the female disciples traveled with Jesus and listened to him teach about God and how to live a good life. They also helped him with his work, like cooking food and taking care of things.

Even though some people in those days thought that women weren't as important as men, Jesus treated his female disciples just the same as his male ones. He knew that everyone is important, no matter what their gender is.

So, the female disciples of Jesus were very special because they learned important things from him and helped spread his message to other people. Even today, people look up to them as good examples of faith and kindness.
