Clopas was a first-century figure from Palestine mentioned in the New Testament. He is identified in the Gospel of John as the husband of Mary, who stood near the cross during the crucifixion of Jesus. Depending on the interpretation of ancient Greek manuscripts, his name is sometimes associated with Cleophas, one of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Various early Christian traditions link him to the family of Jesus, often describing him as a brother of Joseph.
