Heinichen's note on Eusebius, h. e. 3, 11, 2)), Clopas (Vulg. (Cleopas and) Cleophas), the father of the apostle James the less, and husband of Mary the sister of the mother of Jesus: John 19:25 (ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ namely, γυνή (cf. Winer's Grammar, 131 (125) note)). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, likely derived from the Hebrew root קָלַע (qal'a), meaning "to enclose" or "to bind."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Κλωπᾶς, the root concept of "enclosure" or "binding" can be associated with the Hebrew root קָלַע (qal'a), which is not directly linked to a specific Strong's Hebrew entry but reflects a thematic connection in terms of etymology. Usage: The name Κλωπᾶς appears in the New Testament in the context of identifying familial relationships among the followers of Jesus. It is mentioned once in the Berean Standard Bible. Context: Κλωπᾶς (Klopas) is mentioned in the New Testament in John 19:25: "Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene." This verse identifies Mary, the wife of Clopas, as one of the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus. The identification of Clopas has led to various interpretations and discussions among scholars and theologians. Some traditions suggest that Clopas may be the same person as Alphaeus, the father of James the Less, one of the twelve apostles, although this identification is not universally accepted. The name Clopas itself is of Aramaic origin, which reflects the cultural and linguistic context of the time. The presence of Mary, the wife of Clopas, at the crucifixion highlights the role of women in the early Christian community and their close association with Jesus' ministry.
