Rufus
Smith's Bible Dictionary
Ru'fus. (red). Rufus is mentioned in Mark 15:21, as a son of Simon, the Cyrenian. Luke 23:26. (A.D. 29). Again, in Romans 16:13, the apostle Paul salutes a Rufus, whom he designates as "elect in the Lord." This Rufus was probably identical with the one to whom Mark refers.
