Son of Simon the Cyrenian who was constrained to carry the cross on which the Saviour was to be crucified, Mark 15:21 . If he is the same person whom Paul salutes in Romans 16:13 , as is probable, we may see in this instance the divine blessing abiding on the household of one who befriended Christ and bore his cross.
