<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> JASON </strong> . This Greek name was adopted by many [[Jews]] whose [[Hebrew]] designation was Joshua (Jesus). <strong> 1. </strong> The son of [[Eleazar]] deputed to make a treaty with the Romans, and father of [[Antipater]] who was later sent on a similar errand, unless two different persons are meant ( 1Ma 8:17; 1Ma 12:16; 1Ma 14:22 ). <strong> 2. </strong> [[Jason]] of Cyrene, an author, of whose history 2 Mac. (see 2Ma 2:23; 2Ma 2:26 ) is an epitome (written after b.c. 160). <strong> 3. </strong> Joshua the high priest, who ousted his brother [[Onias]] iii. from the office in b.c. 174 ( 2Ma 4:7 ff.), but was himself driven out three years later, and died among the Lacedæmonians at [[Sparta]] ( 2Ma 5:9 f.). <strong> 4. </strong> In Acts 17:6 ff. a Jason was St. Paul’s host at Thessalonica, from whom the politarchs took bail for his good behaviour, thus (as it seems) preventing St. Paul’s return to [[Macedonia]] for a long time (see art. Paul the Apostle, § 8). The Jason who sends greetings from [[Corinth]] in Romans 16:21 , a ‘kinsman’ of St. Paul ( <em> i.e. </em> a Jew), is probably the same man. </p> <p> A. J. Maclean. </p> | ||
