JUSTUS

(Gk. Ioústos)

1. Surname of Joseph Barsabbas, unsuccessful candidate for apostleship (Acts 1:23).

2. Titius (or Titus) Justus, a “worshipper of God” in Corinth whose home was next to the synagogue and open to Christians, and with whom Paul lodged (Acts 18:7).

3. Jesus Justus, one “of the circumcision” (a fellow Jew or member of the circumcision party) and “fellow worker” with Paul who sent greetings to Colossae (Col. 4:11). His is the only name in the paragraph that does not appear in Philemon. With Mark he has been a comfort (Gk. parēgoría) to Paul, a strong term found in medical contexts in the sense of “assuaging” or “alleviating” and on tombstones and in condolence letters.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
