Rufus of Thebes

Rufus of Thebes (Greek: Ῥοῦφος ό Θηβαίος) is numbered among the Seventy Disciples in Eastern Orthodox tradition.

He was bishop of Thebes in Greece, and according to some traditions[citation needed] is referenced in Romans 16:13.

However, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary the Rufus in Romans 16 could well have been the Rufus mentioned in Mark.

[1] His feast day is 8 April, and he is also commemorated on 4 January with the other Seventy Apostles.
