Romans 16:21. Timothy, my fellow-worker, satuteth you. That Timothy was with Paul at this time appears from Acts 20:4.

Lucius. Not ‘Luke' but possibly ‘Lucius of Cyrene' (Acts 13:1).

Jason. This may refer to the person named in Acts 17:5, as a resident of Thessalonica.

Sosipater. The same name as ‘Sopater' (Acts 20:4), and possibly the same person. All three names were frequent.

My kinsmen. Comp. Romans 16:7; Romans 16:11. Here also the term probably means more than ‘countrymen.' That Paul's relatives should become Christians, and be associated with him, is probable enough.
