<li> The father of the apostles Peter (&nbsp;John 21:15-17 ) and Andrew; but the reading should be (also in 1:42), as in the Revised Version, "John," instead of Jonas. <div> <p> '''Copyright Statement''' These dictionary topics are from M.G.

<p> (Ι᾿ωνᾶς '','' for the Heb. [[Jonah]] )'','' the Graecized form of the name of three men in the [[Apocrypha]] and New Testament. </p> <p> '''1.''' The prophet JONAH (2 Esdr. 1, 39; &nbsp;Tobit 14:4; &nbsp;Tobit 14:8; &nbsp;Matthew 12:39-41; &nbsp;Matthew 16:4; &nbsp;Luke 11:29-30; &nbsp;Luke 11:32). </p> <p> '''2.''' A person occupying the same position in &nbsp;1 [[Esdras]] 9:23 as ELIEZER in the corresponding list in &nbsp;Ezra 10:23. Perhaps the corruption originated in reading אליעיני for אליעזר, as appears to have been the case in &nbsp;1 Esdras 9:32 (compare &nbsp;Ezra 10:31). The former would have caught the compiler's eye from &nbsp;Ezra 10:22, and the original form Elionas, as it appears in the Vulg., could easily have become Jonas. </p> <p> '''3.''' The father of the apostle Peter (&nbsp;John 21:15-17). In &nbsp;John 1:42 the name is less correctly Anglicized "Jona" (some MSS. have Ι᾿ωάννης )''.'' A.D. ante 25. (See [[Bar-Jona]]). Instead of Ι᾿ωνᾶ (genitive) in all the above passages, good codices have Ι᾿ωάννου or Ι᾿ωάνου, which latter Lachmann has introduced into the text. Perhaps [[Jonas]] is but a contraction for Joannas (&nbsp;Luke 3:27), which is the same as ''John.'' </p>
