MNASON of Cyprus, mentioned in Acts 21:16 as one who entertained Paul and his companions on their journey from Cæsarea to Jerusalem. The Greek in this passage admits of two constructions, either ‘bringing with them one Mnason,’ or ‘bringing us to Mnason.’ The most probable explanation is that Mnason lived in some village between Cæsarea and Jerusalem, and that Paul broke his Journey there and stayed the night with him. The distance was between 60 and 70 miles, too great for a day’s journey.

He is called ‘an old (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘early’) disciple,’ that is, one of the first disciples, probably one of those converted on the day of Pentecost.
