Prochoro

Prochorus was one of the seven men of good repute, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, chosen by the Jerusalem church to administer the daily distribution of food to the Hellenistic Jewish widows who had been overlooked in the existing arrangements (Acts 6:5). His Greek name indicates Hellenistic Jewish background. Early Christian tradition, beginning with apocryphal Acts of John, makes him the companion and scribe of the apostle John, but this cannot be established from the New Testament record alone.
