The Holy Apostles Sosthenes, Apollos, Cephas, Tychicus, Epaphroditus, and Caesar were chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ for the purpose of evangelism. The Apostle Sosthenes, being the chief of the Jewish synagogue in Corinth, was converted to faith by the Apostle Paul and became the bishop of Colophon. The Apostle Apollos, who came from Alexandria, was eloquent and learned, educated in the teachings of Christ, and worked in Corinth, where he contributed to the conversion of the Gentiles. The Apostle Cephas also labored much in evangelism and was the bishop of Colophon. The Apostle Tychicus, a disciple of the Apostle Paul, accompanied him on his journeys and was the bishop of Colophon. The Apostle Epaphroditus, sent from the Philippian church with aid for Paul, fell ill but recovered and became the bishop of Adriak. The Apostle Caesar, who worked hard in preaching, became the bishop of Dyrrachium. All of them, having well shepherded the flock of Christ, surrendered their souls to the Lord and now receive their reward for their labors.
