ALEXANDER . 1 . Son of Simon of Cyrene; like his brother Rufus, evidently a well-known man ( Mark 15:21 only). 2 . One of the high-priestly family ( Acts 4:6 ). 3 . The would-he spokesman of the Jews in the riot at Ephesus, which endangered them as well as the Christians ( Acts 19:33 ); not improbably the same as the coppersmith ( 2 Timothy 4:14 ) who did St. Paul ‘much evil,’ and who was probably an Ephesian Jew; possibly the same as the Alexander of 1 Timothy 1:20 (see Hymenæus), in which case we may regard him as an apostate Christian who had relapsed into Judaism.

A. J. Maclean.
