New Testament
Crispus
The leader of the synagogue in Corinth who believed in the Lord along with his entire household.
Crispus was the ruler of the synagogue in Corinth who converted to Christianity during Paul's ministry there. He is significant as one of the few individuals whom Paul personally baptized, as noted in his first letter to the Corinthian church. His conversion served as a major witness to the gospel's power among the Jewish community in that city.
