Alexander:
(1.) Son of Simon the Cyrenian, who was compelled to bear the cross for our Lord (Mark 15:21).
(2.) One of the kindred of Annas the high priest (Acts 4:6).
(3.) A Jew at Ephesus whom his countrymen put forward during the tumult raised by Demetrius the silversmith (Acts 19:33) to plead their cause with the mob.
(4.) An Ephesian Christian reprobated by St. Paul in 1 Timothy 1:20 as having, together with one Hymenaeus, put from him faith and a good conscience, and so made shipwreck concerning the faith. This may be the same with no. 5.
(5.) Alexander the coppersmith, mentioned by the same apostle (2 Timothy 4:14) as having done him many mischiefs.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
