Alexander, Son of Simon of Cyrene

Alexander, Son of Simon of Cyrene, is the Alexander identified as Simon of Cyrene’s son in Mark 15:21. The passage names Simon as the father of Alexander and Rufus while describing Simon as a passer-by coming from the field who is compelled to take up the cross. Alexander is named in at least 1 verse across 1 biblical book, Mark. The text supplies this family identification but gives no further account of Alexander in the cited reference.
