SOSIPATER

(Gk. Sōsípatros)

1. A captain under Judas Maccabeus who destroyed the garrison at Charax. He subsequently captured the governor Timothy, who coaxed Sosipater into releasing him (2 Macc. 12:19-25).

2. A Jewish Christian who was with Paul at the time of the writing of the Epistle to the Romans (probably at Corinth shortly before Paul’s final journey to Jerusalem) and whose greetings are conveyed to the church at Rome (Rom. 16:21). He is identified as one of Paul’s “relatives” (NRSV; cf. mg “compatriots”). He may be the same person as Sopater (Acts 20:4).

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.
