Synopsis
Excerpt from Gnomon of the New Testament, Vol. 2: Containing the Commentary on the Gospels According to St. Luke and St. John and the Acts of the Apostles
1 The names Lucius and Lucas are the same; except that the former, being a diminutive of the latter, has somewhat of a more familiar sound. Mention is made as early as in Acts xiii. 1 of a Lucius of Cyrene among the prophets and teachers of the Church, which at that time flourished at Antioch and there fore it must have been but a short time after the death which befel Herod (ch.
