The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Justus''' (also known as ''Joseph'' or ''Barsabas Justus'') is numbered among the [[Apostles#The_Seventy|Seventy Apostles]]. He was a son of [[Joseph the Betrothed]] and his first wife Salome, along with the [[Apostle James the Just]], the [[Apostle Jude]], and Simon; he is sometimes known as ''Joses''. He and the [[Apostle Matthias]] were selected as candidates to replace [[Judas Iscariot]], but ultimately St. Justus was not chosen. He was [[Bishop]] of Eleutheropolis and died a [[martyr]]. The Church remembers St. Justus on [[October 30]], and on [[January 4]] among the Seventy.
