Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. Observe the graceful way in which St. Paul intimates his obligation to the mother of Rufus, who at some time (though when and where we know not) had been as a mother to himself. Similar delicate courtesy of language is especially observable in the Epistle to Philemon.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Rufus.--Simon of Cyrene is described in St. Mark's Gospel (Mark 15:21) as "the father of Alexander and Rufus," and as there is a substantial tradition, favoured by some internal indications, that this Gospel was written at Rome, it is not unlikely that the same Rufus may be meant.Chosen in the Lord.--An eminent Christian.His mother and mine.--His mother, who has also been like a mother to me.
