They were among the Seventy Apostles. The Apostle Paul calls them his relatives (Rom. 16:21). Jason was from Tarsus, and Sosipater was from Achaia. The Apostle Paul appointed them bishops. Preaching the Gospel, they reached Corfu, where they built a Church. The king of this island threw them into prison, where they converted 7 thieves to the faith of Christ, whom the king killed in boiling pitch. Seeing how her father tortured the apostles, the virgin Kerkyra herself declared herself a Christian. Her father imprisoned her and set the prison on fire, but she remained alive. Seeing this, many were baptized. They killed her with arrows. The king, chasing the Christians, drowned in the sea, and the new king, Sebastian, accepted the faith of Christ. Jason and Sospipater died peacefully in Corfu, in a very old age.
