1. Mark 15:21 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Is anything further known about Rufus?

Mark 15:21 (ESV)

21 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

It is possible, that the Rufus mentioned by Mark is the same Rufus mentioned by Paul in Romans (Romans 16:13).
