Joseph of Bethany
Old, and last servant of Simon the Zealot (Apostle).
"the only one who stayed with me after my misfortune. As I have already told you, he always helped me while I was banned from society. He took care of my Goods as if they were his own".Simon houses him in his home, after having it purchased by Lazarus, his neighbor.
"I decided that a small house, at the edge of the property, remain in his possession and that part of the sum be given to him for his future needs".This property in Bethany, close to that of Lazarus, will sometimes serve as a base of support for the apostolic troop unwelcome in Jerusalem.[1]
His name
Joseph (Iosseph - Iehosseph) means "May God add!". Historical reference: the eleventh son of Jacob whom he had by Rachel. This favored son was sold by his brothers and became Pharaoh's steward.
