Keener's third argument: Greek church fathers and modern scholars agree Junia was an apostle

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:11:46 – 00:12:47

Mike considers this the weightiest of Keener's three arguments.

Ancient Greek-speaking church fathers (notably Chrysostom, who spoke Greek natively) interpreted Junia as an apostle. Chrysostom remarked on how notable it was that Paul called her well-known among the apostles. Mike considers this argument genuinely weighty — if native Greek speakers read it as inclusive, that matters. He acknowledges this point may still convince people even after his counterarguments.
