Zenas the Lawyer

Zenas the Lawyer was one of the Seventy Disciples which were spread out by Jesus of Nazareth to spread his message. He was follower and companion of the Apostle Paul[1] and mentioned in the New Testament:

"Send forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollo, with care that nothing be wanting to them. And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful."

(Titus:3)[2]

Zenas the Lawyer is venerated as a saint by Eastern Orthodox Church (September 27 (by Julian Calendar), January 4), Roman Catholic Church (April 14) and other Christian Churches.
