+ | **The origin on the name "Oney Cypress" | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Was Oney Cypress “really” his name? | ||
+ | |||
+ | The short answer is… not exactly. Nor was "Oney Scyprett" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Both Oney Cypress Randal and his Uncle, "Oney Scyprett" | ||
+ | |||
+ | The name Onesiphorus may not have been as popular as other Biblical names such as Matthew, Mark, and Mary, but that’s most likely to it’s five-syllable pronunciation or the problems the spelling would cause. The Biblical [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Onesiphorus is only mentioned twice in the Bible, both times in the Epistle of 2 Timothy. Early in the Epistle, Paul writes a prayer of blessing upon Onesiphorus: | ||
+ | |||
+ | These two passages convey all we know about Onesiphorus’s background: 1) he was from Ephesus, where Paul had founded a church (Acts 19:1–10); 2) his whole family were believers; and 3) in Ephesus, he had helped Paul “//in many ways.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Paul wrote 2 Timothy from a Roman prison cell. It was a difficult time for the apostle, made more difficult by trusted friends who abandoned him in his hour of need. “//You know that everyone in the province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes// | ||
+ | |||
+ | According to Orthodox tradition, Onesiphorus was one of the seventy disciples chosen and sent by Jesus to preach. They were chosen some time after the selection of the Twelve Apostles (Luke 10:1-24). Saint Onesiphorus was bishop at Colophon (Asia Minor), and later at Corinth. Both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches hold that he died a martyr in the city of Parium (not far from Ephesus) on the shores of the Hellespont. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ultimately, because the name Onesiphorus is relatively rare, its repetitive use (and variations of it) in our family line helps us confirm our lineage. | ||
