Cle'opas. (of a renowned father). One of the two disciples who were going to Emmaus, on the day of the resurrection. Luke 24:18. Some think that this is the same Cleophas as in John 19:25. But, they are probably two different persons. Cleopas is a Greek name, contracted from Cleopater, while Cleophas, or Clopas as in the Revised Version, is an Aramaic name, the same as Alphaeus.
