Who this is

Lucius of Cyrene was one of the prophets and teachers at the church in Antioch who, along with Barnabas and Saul, was set apart by the Holy Spirit for missionary work (Acts 13:1-2). Paul later calls a Lucius his kinsman in his greetings from Corinth, though it is uncertain whether this is the same man (Romans 16:21).
