Joseph Barsabbas was a first-century follower of Jesus who appears in the Acts of the Apostles as a candidate to succeed Judas Iscariot. Along with Matthias, he was considered for the apostleship because he had been present during the ministry of Christ from the baptism of John until the Ascension. Although the casting of lots ultimately selected Matthias for the position, Joseph is remembered as a man of integrity, often referred to by the surname Justus.
