jesus justus

Jesus Justus or Iesous ho legomenos Ioustos (in Greek) is refereed to by the Apostle Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 4:11 Paul tells the Church at Colossae in his letter from Rome that "Jesus who is called Justus" sends his greetings.

His Life

Justus is described as one of Paul's fellow "workers" in bringing Christianity to the people of Rome. Writing from Prison, Paul recounts his difficulties and trials in spreading his message. Justus is shown as a friend, true to Paul while many others had either fallen away, or dismissed him outright. He is not described or mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament, with no other historical details available.

Jew by Birth

Justus is recorded as a member of the group of three Jews which included Paul's fellow prisoner Aristarchus, Mark (the cousin of Barnabas) and Justus. They are said by Paul to be the "only Jews among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God" and to have "proved a comfort to me."
