Cephas of Iconium

Cephas of Iconium (Greek: Κηφᾶς Ἰκονίου) is numbered among the Seventy Disciples, and was bishop of Iconium or Colophon, Pamphylia.

[1] The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers St. Cephas on March 30 with Apostles Sosthenes, Apollos, Caesar, and Epaphroditus; and on December 8 with the same apostles and Onesiphorus.

Apostles of the 70 were hand-picked (chosen) and sent by Jesus himself to preach.

They were chosen some time after the selection of the Twelve Apostles.

[2] All seventy are commemorated by the Orthodox Church on January 4.
