Greet Andronicus and Junia The act of greeting in the early Christian context was more than a simple acknowledgment; it was a recognition of fellowship and shared faith. The names Andronicus and Junia are significant. Andronicus is a Greek name meaning "man of victory," suggesting a person of notable character or achievement. Junia, a name that has sparked much debate, is traditionally understood as a female name, indicating the presence and importance of women in the early church. The inclusion of both names highlights the diversity and unity within the body of Christ, transcending gender and cultural barriers. my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners They are outstanding among the apostles and they were in Christ before I was My kinsmen.--From the number of persons (six in all, and those not only in Rome but also in Greece and Macedonia) to whom the title is given in this chapter, it would seem as if the word "kinsmen" was to be taken in a wider sense than that which it usually bears. It probably means members of the same nation--Jew like myself. Fellow-prisoners.--It is not at all known to what this refers. The only imprisonment of St. Paul recorded in the Acts after this date would be that at Philippi, but allusions such as those in 2Corinthians 6:5; 2Corinthians 11:23, at once show the defectiveness of the narrative, and point to occasions when the persons mentioned might easily have shared imprisonment with him. Of note among the apostles.--An ambiguous expression, which might mean, and, judging by the word alone, would perhaps more naturally be taken to mean, "distinguished as Apostles themselves." This sense is not to be disregarded as absolutely impossible, for the title "Apostles" does not appear to have been limited to the Twelve. It is decidedly more probable that James, the Lord's brother, who is called an Apostle in Galatians 1:19, and elsewhere, was not identical with James the son of Alphaeus. And, however this may be, there can be no question about Barnabas, who is called an Apostle in Acts 14:14. St. Paul himself seems to draw a distinction between "the Twelve" and "all the Apostles," in 1Corinthians 15:7. Still, on the whole, it seems best to suppose that the phrase "of note among the Apostles" means, "highly esteemed by the apostolic circle." . . .
