Commentaries on Romans 16:21

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21Timotheus my workfellow - This is on all hands allowed to be the same Timothy to whom St. Paul directs the two epistles which are still extant. See some account of him in the notes on Acts 16:1; (note), etc. Lucius - This was probably Luke the evangelist, and writer of the book called The Acts of the Apostles. For a short account of him see the Preface to that book. Jason - It is likely that this is the same person mentioned Acts 17:7, who at Thessalonica…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 21Timotheus - Timothy; to whom the Epistles which bear his name were written. He was long the companion of Paul in his labors; Acts 16:1; 1 Corinthians 16:10; 2 Corinthians 1:1, 2 Corinthians 1:19; Philemon 2:29; 1 Thessalonians 3:2; 1 Timothy 1:2; Hebrews 13:23. And Lucius - He is mentioned in Acts 13:1, as a prophet and teacher, a native of Cyrene. Nothing more is known of him. My kinsmen - Romans 16:7.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-24Verses 21-24 The apostle adds affectionate remembrances from persons with him, known to the Roman Christians. It is a great comfort to see the holiness and usefulness of our kindred. Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but some are. It is lawful for believers to bear civil offices; and it were to be wished that all offices in Christian states, and in the church, were bestowed upon prudent and steady Christians.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 21Timothy was one of Paul’s closest coworkers in ministry. He traveled with Paul on the second missionary journey (Acts 16:2–3). Timothy was also with Paul in Corinth when Paul wrote this letter to the church in Rome (see Acts 20:2–4).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2121. Timotheus, my work-fellow--"my fellow labourer"; see Ac 16:1-5. The apostle mentions him here rather than in the opening address to this church, as he had not been at Rome [Bengel]. and Lucius--not Luke, for the fuller form of "Lucas" is not "Lucius" but "Lucanus." The person meant seems to be "Lucius of Cyrene," who was among the "prophets and teachers" at Antioch with our apostle, before he was summoned into the missionary field (Ac 13:1). and…Read the comment
