SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:11

Saludad a Herodin, mi pariente. Saludad a los que son (de la casa de) Narciso, los que son en el Seor.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 16:11

Verse 11. Herodion, my kinsman.] Probably another
converted Jew. See on ver. 7.

Of the household of Narcissus] Probably dead also, as we have supposed Aristobulus to have been at this time.

Which are in the Lord.] This might intimate that some of this family were not Christians; those only of that family that were converted to the Lord being saluted. There was a person of the name of Narcissus, who was a freed man of the Emperor Claudius, mentioned by Suetonius in his life of that prince, cap. 37; and by Tacitus, An., lib. xii. cap. l7: but there does not seem any reason to suppose that this was the person designed by St. Paul.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. Salute Herodion my kinsman , etc..] According to the flesh, being of the same nation, a Jew; or of the same tribe, the tribe of Benjamin; or of the same family, and nearly allied in blood to him: though the name is of Attic, or Parthic original, and seems to be a derivative of Herod; this man is reckoned among the seventy disciples, and said to be bishop of Tarsus: (see Gill on Luke 10:1). Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord ; some have thought, that this Narcissus is the same man that Suetonius f282 and other writers speak of f283 , who was secretary to Claudius Caesar; a very great favourite of his, who amassed a great deal of wealth under him, and was raised to great honour and dignity by him: he himself is not saluted, either because he was not at home, which might be the case, if, as Ambrose, or rather Hilary the deacon on the text says, he was a presbyter and abroad, performing his office in foreign parts; or because he was dead, or rather not a believer: if he was the same with Claudius's favourite, he was dead before this time, being miserably put to death by Agrippina f284 , the wife of Claudius; and seems to have died a wicked man, and justly punished for his being the cause of the destruction of others, through his calumnies: nor are all of his household saluted, not being all converted persons; it being frequently the method of divine grace to take some of a family, and not all, and bring them to Zion; only those that were in the Lord, on his heart, and in his hands, secretly represented by him, and united to him, and who were openly in him, being called by his grace, and brought to believe in him, and live upon him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 -
Paul recommends Phebe to the Christians at Rome. It becomes Christian to help one another in their affairs, especially strangers; we know no what help we may need ourselves. Paul asks help for one that had bee helpful to many; he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Thoug the care of all the churches came upon him daily, yet he could remembe many persons, and send salutations to each, with particular character of them, and express concern for them. Lest any should feel themselve hurt, as if Paul had forgotten them, he sends his remembrances to the rest, as brethren and saints, though not named. He adds, in the close a general salutation to them all, in the name of the churches of Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

11. Narcissus. This name was borne by a distinguished freedman, who was secretary of letters to Claudius. Juvenal alludes to his
wealth and his influence over Claudius, and says that Messalina, the wife of Claudius, was put to death by his order ("Satire," xiv., 330). His household slaves, passing into the hands of the emperor or of some other master, would continue to bear his name.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

16:11 {Herodion} (Her"idi"na). Probably one belonging to the
Herod family like that above. {Kinsman} (suggen). Merely fellow-countryman. {Them of the household of Narcissus} (tous ek twn narkissou). "Narcissiani." There was a famous freedman of this name who was put to death by Agrippa. Perhaps members of his household.
