The Apostolic Age
Who Eubulus of Rome was
First named in the final greeting of Paul’s last surviving letter: “Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.” A Greek name (“well-counselled”) in a Roman congregation decimated by Nero’s pogrom two years before — the handful who still had access to a condemned prisoner. Nothing more is known; the verse is his whole monument.
2 Timothy 4:21 only.
