Onesimus
Saint Onesimus (, meaning "useful"; died c. 68 AD),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Onesimus )〕 also called Onesimus of Byzantium and The Holy Apostle Onesimus in some Eastern Orthodox churches, was a slave to Philemon of Colossae, a man of Christian faith. He may be the same Onesimus named by Ignatius of Antioch as Bishop in Ephesus.
==In Scripture==
The name "Onesimus" appears in two New Testament epistles—in Colossians 4 and in Philemon. In Colossians 4:9〔(Christian Bible: Colossians 4:9 )〕 a person of this name is identified as a Christian accompanying Tychicus to visit the Christians in Colossae; nothing else is stated about him in this context. He may well be the freed Onesimus from the Epistle to Philemon.
The Epistle to Philemon was written by Paul the Apostle to the slave-master Philemon concerning a runaway slave called Onesimus. This slave found his way to the site of Paul's imprisonment (most probably Rome or Caesarea)〔'The Letter to Philemon', Joseph A. Fitzmyer S.J., paragraph 5, pages 869-870 ''The New Jerome Biblical Commentary'', 1989, Geoffrey Chapman〕 to escape punishment for a theft of which he was accused.〔(Saint Onesimus at SQPN website )〕 After hearing the Gospel from Paul, Onesimus converted to Christianity. Paul, having earlier converted Philemon to Christianity, sought to reconcile the two by writing the letter to Philemon which today exists in the New Testament.〔(Christian Bible: Philemon verses 19-16 )〕). The letter read (in part):
