Life
Jason is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 12 July as the disciple who sheltered Saint Paul. The chronicler Ado of Vienne identified him with Mnason of Cyprus, Paul's host in the Acts of the Apostles (21:16). The sources consulted say no more of his life. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
