Apostles Aristarchus, Pudens and Trophimus of the Seventy

Aristarchus, Pudens and Trophimus are all named in the New Testament and counted among the Seventy apostles. Aristarchus, a companion of Paul mentioned in Acts and in the letters to the Colossians and Philemon, is said by tradition to have been bishop of Apamea in Syria. Pudens, greeted in the Second Letter to Timothy, was, according to tradition, a Roman senator whose house received Peter and Paul and later became a church.

Trophimus, who in Acts travelled with Paul and was left sick at Miletus, according to the same letter, shared Paul's hardships. The three are said to have died in Rome with Paul, beheaded on the order of Nero, about AD 67.
