Difference between revisions of "Secundus"

<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 (&nbsp;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 (&nbsp;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.

<p> <strong> SECUNDUS </strong> . A man of Thessalonica who accompanied St. Paul on his journey to Jerusalem (&nbsp; 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. See Sopater. </p> <p> A. J. Maclean. </p>

They had preceded Paul and waited for him at Troas. If he were one of the representatives of the churches in [[Macedonia]] and Greece, entrusted with their contributions to Jerusalem (&nbsp;Acts 24:17; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 8:23 ), he probably accompanied Paul as far as Jerusalem. The name is found in a list of politarchs on a Thessalonian inscription. </p>
