Footnotes
"Sitting at the feet" (παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας) is the precise technical posture of a talmid before a rabbi—the formal posture of a disciple under instruction (cf. Acts 22:3, where Sha'ul says he was educated "at the feet of Gamaliel"). In first-century Judaism, women were not expected to assume this role. Yeshua's acceptance of Miryam in this posture is a quiet but culturally transgressive affirmation of women as full disciples.
