This term suggests a shared ethnic or national identity, which in this context, is Jewish. The name Herodion may imply a connection to the Herodian family, a ruling dynasty in Judea, though this is speculative. The mention of Herodion highlights the diverse backgrounds of early Christians, including those from influential or politically connected families. This greeting reflects the unity and fellowship among believers, transcending social and political boundaries. The early church was a melting pot of different cultures and backgrounds, unified in Christ.<p><b>Greet those from the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.</b><br>The household of Narcissus likely refers to a group of people associated with a prominent figure named Narcissus. In Roman society, a household could include family members, servants, and slaves. Narcissus was a common name, but it might refer to a well-known freedman who served under Emperor Claudius. If so, this indicates the gospel's reach into influential circles. The phrase "who are in the Lord" specifies that Paul is greeting those within the household who are believers, emphasizing the distinction between those who have accepted the faith and those who have not. This reflects the early church's focus on spiritual kinship over social status. The mention of a household suggests the communal nature of early Christian worship, often taking place in homes. This greeting underscores the spread of Christianity across different societal levels and the importance of household conversions in the growth of the early church.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/herodion.htm">Herodion</a></b><br>Likely a Jewish Christian, possibly related to the Herodian family, indicating a connection to a prominent Jewish lineage.

Narcissus, too, is an historical name. There had been a famous Narcissus, a freed-man and favourite of Claudius, who had been put to death three or four years before this Epistle was written. His household would naturally pass into the hands of the emperor, though still keeping his name. In the case of Aristobulus, the transference would be effected by bequest, in that of Narcissus by confiscation. Many instances of both methods occur in the history and records of the time.<p>The interpretation here given, and the identification of Aristobulus and Narcissus with the historical bearers of those names, is some way short of certain, but may be said to have some degree of probability.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/romans/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus that are in the Lord</span>. This Narcissus may possibly have been the powerful freedman of Claudius, mentioned by Tacitus, 'Ann.,' 11:29, <span class="accented">seq.</span>; 12:57; and by Suetonius, 'Claud.,' 28. The fact that he appears from 'Ann.,' 13:1, to have been put to death on the accession of Nero, A.D. 54, is not inconsistent with the supposition. For his human chattels would be likely to pass into the possession of Nero, and so become part of Caeasar's household, and might still be called by their late master's name. This may also have been the case with the household of Aristobulus above referred to. It is observable that, at a later period, the apostle, writing from Rome to the Philippians, sends special greetings from them "that are of Caesar's household" (<a href="/philippians/4-23.htm">Philippians 4:23</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/romans/16-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Greet</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἀσπάσασθε</span> <span class="translit">(Aspasasthe)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Imperative Middle - 2nd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_782.htm">Strong's 782: </a> </span><span class="str2">To greet, salute, pay my respects to, welcome.
