New Testament
Linus
A Christian in Rome who sent greetings to Timothy in Paul's final epistle.
Linus is mentioned only once in the New Testament as a believer in Rome who joined others in sending greetings to Timothy. While early church tradition identifies him as a successor to the apostles, the biblical text provides no further details regarding his life or ministry. His inclusion serves as a testament to the network of faithful companions supporting Paul during his final imprisonment.
