One of [[Paul]]'s companions and co-workers, mentioned only in [[Colossians 4]]:10-11 where he sends greetings to the [[Colossians]] alongside [[Aristarchus]] and [[Mark]]. Very little is known about him beyond this single reference. His name reflects the common practice among [[Roman]] [[Jews]] of having both a Semitic name and a Greco-Roman name. "Jesus" (the same name as [[Joshua]], from the Hebrew Yeshua) was a common Jewish name, while "Justus" was a Latin name. This dual naming pattern was similar to [[John Mark]], who also bore both a Jewish and Roman name. Jesus Justus was significant as one of the only [[Jews]] among [[Paul]]'s co-workers for the [[kingdom of God]] who were "a comfort" to him ([[Colossians 4]]:11). This suggests he remained faithful to [[Paul]] during a time when other Jewish believers may have distanced themselves from the apostle's ministry.
