Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A variant of the Hebrew name יוסי (Yose), which is a shortened form of יוסף (Yosef), meaning "he will add" or "Jehovah has added."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Ἰωσῆς corresponds to the Hebrew name יוסי (Yose), which is a shortened form of יוסף (Yosef). The Strong's Hebrew entry for יוסף is H3130, which is commonly translated as "Joseph" in English. This name is associated with several key figures in the Hebrew Bible, including Joseph, the son of Jacob, whose story is central to the narrative of Genesis.

Usage: The name Ἰωσῆς appears in the New Testament as a reference to individuals who were part of the early Christian community. It is used to identify specific persons, often in relation to their familial or community roles.

Context: • Joses, the Brother of Jesus: In the New Testament, Ἰωσῆς is mentioned as one of the brothers of Jesus. In Mark 6:3 (BSB), the people of Nazareth question Jesus' authority, saying, "Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon?" This indicates that Joses was part of Jesus' immediate family, highlighting the human aspect of Jesus' life and ministry.

• Joses, also called Barnabas: Another notable figure named Joses is mentioned in Acts 4:36 (BSB), where he is described as "Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement)." This Joses, better known as Barnabas, played a significant role in the early church, particularly in his partnership with the Apostle Paul during missionary journeys. His character as an encourager and supporter of the early Christian community is well-documented in the Acts of the Apostles.

• Joses, the Son of Mary: In Mark 15:40 (BSB), during the crucifixion account, it is noted, "There were also women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome." This reference identifies Joses as the son of another Mary, distinct from Mary, the mother of Jesus. This Mary is often considered to be a follower of Jesus who was present at significant events, including the crucifixion and resurrection.
