    Simon of Cyrene

    What is the significance of Simon the Cyrene? Why is that particular event recorded in all three synoptics?

    I'm not sure, but his sons, Rufus and Alexander, may be mentioned in Paul's later writings.

    Rom 16:13
    1 Tim 1:20
    2 Tim 4:14

    And possible Acts 19:33 (4:6 ?)

    Is it possible that Simon the Cyrene is also Simon the Tanner?

    I do not know, and I do not say, that a person cannot believe in Revelation and in evolution, too, for a man may believe that which is infinitely wise and also that which is only asinine. ~ CHS

    Thanks for the input so far. I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong forum. Oops.
