Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


JASON.—This Greek name was adopted by many Jews whose Hebrew designation was Joshua (Jesus). 1. 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). 2. 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). 3. 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.). 4. In Act_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 Rom_16:21, a ‘kinsman’ of St. Paul (i.e. a Jew), is probably the same man.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Graecized from Joshua. The Thessalonian who received Paul and Silas (Act_17:5-7; Act_17:9), whom the mob therefore, after assaulting his house, dragged before the magistrates. Jason had to give security before he was let go. In Rom_16:21 Paul sends Jason's salutations from Corinth, calling him his "kinsman" or fellow tribesman, or fellow countryman, as the word is used Rom_9:3.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Ja'son. (one who will heal). Jason, called the Thessalonian, entertained Paul and Silas, and was in consequence, attacked by the Jewish mob. Act_17:5-7; Act_17:9. (A.D. 48). He is probably the same as the Jason mentioned in Rom_16:21. It is conjectured that Jason and Secundus, Act_20:4, were the same person.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


Ja?son, a kinsman of St. Paul, and his host at Thessalonica, where the Jews forced his house in order to seize the Apostle. Not finding the Apostle, they dragged Jason himself and some other converts before the magistrates, who released them with an admonition (A.D. 53). Jason appears to have accompanied the Apostle to Corinth (Act_17:5-9; Rom_16:21).
