<p> (Σεκοῦνδος [TR[Note: R translated, translation.]], Σέκουνδος [WH[Note: H Westcott-Hort’s | <p> (Σεκοῦνδος [TR[Note: R translated, translation.]], Σέκουνδος [WH[Note: H Westcott-Hort’s Greek Testament.], Blass]) </p> <p> [[Secundus]] was a [[Macedonian]] [[Christian]] belonging to the church of Thessalonica, by which he and [[Aristarchus]] were deputed to convey to [[Jerusalem]] the contributions of the Thessalonians on behalf of the poor brethren of the mother church. He accompanied St. Paul on his last journey to Jerusalem (Acts 20:4). The [[Apostle]] on this occasion intended to sail from Corinth, but the discovery of a plot at the last moment caused him to sail for Macedonia, where he may have met the deputies of the churches of [[Thessalonica]] and BerCEa. It is more probable, however, that they had been previously instructed to join the Apostle at Troas, where we find them along with deputies from Asia (Acts 20:5). It is uncertain whether Secundus remained in [[Syria]] after St. Paul’s arrest or returned to Thessalonica. He is never again mentioned in the NT, but the name occurs in the well-known inscription of Thessalonica (CIG[Note: IG Corpus Inscrip. Graecarum.]ii. 1967), which gives a list of politarchs. </p> <p> Literature.-W. M. Ramsay, St. Paul the Traveller3, 1897, p. 287; R. J. Knowling in Expositor’s Greek Testamentii.

A man of Thessalonica who accompanied St. Paul on his journey to Jerusalem ( Acts 20:4 ), perhaps as a delegate to carry alms from his city. The Greek of the verse is obscure, but the meaning probably is that Aristarchus and Secundus and those mentioned afterwards went direct to [[Troas]] from [[Corinth]] and waited there for the Apostle, who came with [[Sopater]] by way of Macedonia.
