Apostle Parmenas
Revision as of 16:16, August 8, 2005 by MariaCrabtree (talk | contribs)
The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Parmenas was one of the original seven deacons chosen by the Twelve Apostles to minister to the Church of Jerusalem, according to the Acts of the Apostles. He was also one of the Seventy Apostles sent out by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke 10. After preaching for many years in Asia Minor, he settled down in Macedonia. Hippolytus says that Parmenas was the Bishop of Soli. He is thought to have died a martyr in Philippi, Macedonia in the year 98 AD, during the persecution of the Christians under the Roman Emperor Trajan.
