CRESCENS.A companion of St. Paul in his final imprisonment, sent by him to Galatia (2Ti_4:10), i.e. either to Asiatic Galatia, or possibly to Gaul. A late Western tradition treats him as the founder of the Churches of Vienne and of Mayence. His memory is honoured in the Roman Martyrology on June 27, in the Greek Menologion on May 30, and there he is treated as one of the seventy disciples, and a bishop of Chalcedon.

kres?enz (Κρήσκης, Krḗskēs, ?increasing?): An assistant of Paul, mentioned in 2Ti_4:10 as having gone to Galatia. That he was one of the Seventy, and that he founded the church in Vienna in Gaul, are traditions without any trustworthy basis.

Cres?cens, an assistant of St. Paul, and generally supposed to have been one of the seventy disciples of Christ. It is alleged in the Apostolical Constitutions (vii. 46), and by the fathers of the church, that he preached the Gospel in Galatia, a fact probably deduced conjecturally from the only text (2Ti_4:10) in which his name occurs.

Crescens
(Κρήσκης, for Latin Crescens, growing), an assistant of the apostle Paul (2Ti_4:10, where he is stated to have left Rome for Galatia), A.D. 64. He is generally supposed to have been one of the seventy disciples of Christ. It is alleged in the Apostolical Constitutions (7, 46), and by the fathers of the Church, that he preached the Gospel in Galatia, a fact probably deduced conjecturally from the only text (2Ti_4:10) in which his name occurs. There is a less ancient tradition (in Sophronius), according to which Crescens preached, went into Gaul (Galatia; see Theodoret on 2 Timothy 1, c.), and became the founder of the Church in Vienne; but it deserves no notice, having probably no other foundation than the resemblance of the names Galatia and Gallia. From the fact of his having a Latin name, many have inferred that he was a Christian of Rome. (See Bechler, De Crescente, Viteb. 1689.)
