Saint John of Choziba, originally known as John of Thebes, was an Egyptian monk who was born in Egypt around the year 440–450 CE.[1] He abandoned monophysitism around 480 and moved to Wadi Qelt, a wadi in the Judaean Desert, where he reorganized the existing lavra into a monastery known as the monastery of Choziba.[2] In 516, he became Bishop of Caesarea, but soon resigned and returned to the monastery of Choziba, where he died between 520 and 530.[3]
