International Standard Bible EncyclopediaLUCIUS OF CYRENE(Loukios): This name is mentioned twice:(1) In the church at Antioch which sent out Barnabas and Saul as its missionaries were several prophets and teachers, among whom was Lucius of Cyrene (Acts 13:1). He was probably one of those 'men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also' (Acts 11:20).
It has been suggested that he is the same as Luke, but this is merely conjecture.(2) 'Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen' were among those who joined Paul in saluting the Christians in Rome (Rom 16:21). By 'kinsmen' Paul means 'Jews' (compare Rom 9:3; 16:11,21). This Lucius may have been the same person as (1), but, as we have no more information about either, we cannot determine this.S.
