New Testament
Lucius
A prophet and teacher in the church at Antioch and a kinsman of the Apostle Paul.
Lucius of Cyrene was a prominent leader in the church at Antioch who served alongside Barnabas and Saul. He is later identified as a kinsman of Paul in the Epistle to the Romans, where he joins in sending greetings to the church. While some scholars suggest he may be the same person as Luke the physician, the biblical text does not explicitly confirm this identity.
