Jason of Thessalonica was an early Christian priest and a follower of the Apostle Paul. Mentioned in the New Testament, he provided refuge to Paul, Silas, and Timothy in his home in Thessalonica. Because Paul identified him as a fellow countryman, some traditions also refer to him as Jason of Tarsus. According to hagiographic accounts, he served as a bishop and traveled to Corfu with Sosipater to spread the faith, where they faced significant persecution from local authorities.
