Justo (gr. Ióustos ; gr. Titíou Ióustou , where Titíou would be a transliteration of the lat. Titius; both names, both in gr. and in lat., appear in inscriptions from the apostolic age: gr. díkaios ). 1. Nickname of Joseph, also called Barsabbas, a candidate to be an apostle after the death of Judas (Acts 1:23). See Joseph 13. 2. Corinthian man, whose full name was Titus or Titius Justus according to some manuscripts (see BJ, DHH, NBE, LPD), a proselyte or, more likely, a gentile friend of the Jewish religion who had not yet become a Jewish proselyte. His home was next to the Jewish synagogue, and when the Jews expelled Paul from it, the apostle made the house of Justus the center of his mission (Acts 18: 7, 8). 3. Christian from Rome, whose full name was Jesus Just. He was a Jewish Christian, fellow worker of Paul, who sent greetings to the church at Colossae (Col 4:11). 4. For the concept of “just” as a person who walks upright and justified before God, see Justice; Justification.

Names of people in the NT.
1. Jerusalem believer. To replace †¢Judas Iscariot, the apostles wanted to select a person who had been with them †œall the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out…† Two names were separated: †œJoseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed J ., and Matías† . The latter was chosen (Acts 1:21-26). Nothing else is known about his life, but there is a legend that he once drank a deadly poison and was not harmed.
. Gentile believer from the city of Corinth. He lived next to a synagogue and it seems that he was a proselyte before the apostle Paul came to preach there. When the members of the synagogue objected, J. received Pablo in his house (Acts 18: 6-7). He is referred to by different names in various manuscripts. Many scholars have concluded that he was called “Gaius Titius Justus” and that he is the same “Gaius” whom Paul calls “host to me and to the whole church” in Rom 16:23.
. Jewish believer named †œJesus, called J.† who was among †œthe only ones of the circumcision† who helped the apostle Paul (Col 4:11). Nothing else is known about his life.

(name of Latin origin).
1. Nickname of José Barsabás. Justo and Matías were the two candidates proposed to replace Judas Iscariot in the apostolate. Although the lot fell on Matthias, the fact that Justus was considered worthy to occupy such a position indicates that he was a mature disciple of Jesus Christ. (Ac 1:23-26.)
2. Corinthian believer whose house was next to the synagogue. Due to the opposition of the Jews, Paul “transferred” to the house of Titius Justus, that is, he continued his preaching there, although he continued to stay with Iquila and Priscilla. (Acts 18:1-7.)
3. Jewish collaborator of the apostle Paul. Justus, who was also called Jesus, was one of those who strengthened Paul the first time he was imprisoned in Rome and who sent his greetings to the Colossians. (Col 4:10, 11)

Latin name. Lightfoot (on Col. 4.11) notes its frequency among Jews and proselytes, often in combination with a Jewish name (cf. 1 and 3 inf., and see Deissmann, Bible Studies, pp. 315f), and suggests that it be he did to denote obedience and devotion to the law.
1. Name of José Barsabás, one of the two considered possible apostolic successors of Judas Iscariot (Acts 1.23). According to the context he was a constant disciple from the time of John the Baptist. Papias relates a story of how he survived a pagan ordeal by poison (Eus., HE 3.39.9; cf. Lightfoot, Apostolic Fathers, 1891, g. 531, for another authority). On the name Barsabás (“son of—ed born on—a sabbat”) see HJ Cadbury in Amicitiae Corolla, eds. H.G. Wood, 1933, pp. 48ff. If it is a true patronymic, Judas Barsabás (Acts 15.22) could be a brother.
2. Gentile adherent and neighbor of the synagogue in Corinth. When Christian preaching divided the synagogue, the house of Justus became the center of Paul’s activity (Acts 18.7). The ms(s). they translate his other name either as Titus or Titius, or omit it altogether (which Ropes, BC, 3, pp. 173, accepted as the original reading). Based on the indication of Ro. 16.23, Ramsay, and, more fully, EJ Goodspeed JBL 69, 1950, pp. 382ff) identify him with * Gaius of Corinth and render his name “Gaius Ticio Justo”. The assumption that it was the Titus of the Pauline letters has no basis, except in what refers to his antiquity.
3. Alias Jesus, Paul’s esteemed Jewish companion (Col. 4.11). We know nothing more about him. It has been conjectured that his name has been accidentally omitted from Flm. 24 (cf. E. Amling, ZNW 10, 1909, pp. 261).
