 Philemon
      n 1: (Greek mythology) a simple countryman who offered
           hospitality to Zeus and Hermes when they came to earth
           without revealing their identities in order to test
           people's piety
      2: (New Testament) a Christian (probably living in Colossae)
         whose slave escaped and went to see Saint Paul
      3: a New Testament book containing an epistle from Saint Paul
         to Philemon asking Philemon to forgive the slave for
         escaping [syn: Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Philemon,
         Epistle to Philemon]


 Philemon
    an inhabitant of Colosse, and apparently a person of some note
    among the citizens (Col. 4:9; Philemon 1:2). He was brought to a
    knowledge of the gospel through the instrumentality of Paul
    (19), and held a prominent place in the Christian community for
    his piety and beneficence (4-7). He is called in the epistle a
    "fellow-labourer," and therefore probably held some office in
    the church at Colosse; at all events, the title denotes that he
    took part in the work of spreading a knowledge of the gospel.
