New Testament

Pyrrhus

A man from Beroea mentioned as the father of Sopater in the earliest manuscripts of Acts 20:4.

Pyrrhus is identified in Acts 20:4 as the father of Sopater of Beroea, one of the companions who accompanied the Apostle Paul on his journey through Macedonia. While the name appears in several ancient manuscripts, some textual traditions omit it, leading to scholarly debate regarding its inclusion. His mention serves to provide historical context for the group of believers supporting Paul's ministry.
