 Onesimus

Onesimus (, meaning "useful"; died AD, according to Catholic tradition), also called Onesimus of Byzantium and The Holy Apostle Onesimus in some Eastern Orthodox churches, was probably a slave to Philemon of Colossae, a man of Christian faith.He may also be the same Onesimus named by Ignatius of Antioch (died ) as bishop in Ephesus which would put Onesimus's death closer to 95 AD.
