Rufus
   red, the son of Simon the Cyrenian (Mark 15:21), whom the Roman
   soldiers compelled to carry the cross on which our Lord was
   crucified. Probably it is the same person who is again mentioned
   in Rom. 16:13 as a disciple at Rome, whose mother also was a
   Christian held in esteem by the apostle. Mark mentions him along
   with his brother Alexander as persons well known to his readers
   (Mark 15:21).
