Erastus:
(beloved).
(1.) One of the attendants of St. Paul at Ephesus, who with Timothy was sent forward into Macedonia (Acts 19:22). (A.D. 51) He is probably the same with Erastus who is again mentioned in the salutations to Timothy (2 Timothy 4:20).
(2.) Erastus the chamberlain, or rather the public treasurer, of Corinth, who was one of the early converts to Christianity (Romans 16:23). According to the traditions of the Greek Church, he was first treasurer to the church at Jerusalem, and afterwards bishop of Paneas.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
