Crescens was a New Testament figure and missionary who served as a companion to the apostle Paul. Mentioned in the second epistle to Timothy, he is described as traveling to Galatia during Paul's second Roman captivity. He is traditionally identified as one of the seventy disciples sent out by Jesus. Depending on the historical tradition, he is variously associated with the region of Galatia in Asia Minor or with Gaul, where he is sometimes linked to the episcopacy.
