Zacchaeus of Jerusalem

Saint Zacchaeus, also called Zacharias, was the fourth bishop of Jerusalem, a Christian from among the Jews, who died in the year 116. He is venerated in the Orthodox and in the Catholic Church and is remembered on 23 August.

Very little is known of his life. According to Eusebius he was a Jewish Christian. His episcopate lasted, by Eusebius' list, about the years 112 to 116, when he probably died (some scholars extend it to 134). In his time the second Jewish-⁠Roman war (115-117) broke out. His name was entered in the Roman Martyrology on 23 August, first by Ado of Vienne, then by Usuard and finally by Baronius.
