Epaphras (Greek:Ἐπαφράς) was an observer of theApostle Paul mentioned twice in theNew Testamentepistle ofColossians and once in the New Testament letter toPhilemon.[1]
Douglas Moo, in his commentary about Colossians, writes this about Epaphras: "Little is known about him, though we can infer that he was a native of Colossae and that he was perhaps converted by Paul himself during the apostle's ministry in Ephesus. The mention of a co-worker at this point in a Pauline epistle is unusual, and the strength of Paul's endorsement of him is also striking (note also 4:12-13)."[2]
