Clopas

Clopas (Ancient Greek: Κλωπᾶς, Klōpas; Hebrew: possibly חלפי‎, Ḥalfi; Aramaic: חילפאי, Ḥilfài) is a figure of early Christianity. The name appears in the New Testament, specifically in John 19:25:

Luke 24:18

There is some variation of the Greek manuscripts of both John 19:25 and Luke 24 as to the spelling Κλ[ε]οπᾶς, and the John "Clopas" is rendered "Cleophas" in the KJV.
