Pudens

Pudens appears once in the text, in the closing greetings of Paul's last letter. He is one of four named Christians at Rome whose greetings are passed along to Timothy.

A Christian in Rome

The mention is part of Paul's final list, set just before the formal benediction: "Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers" (2Ti 4:21). Pudens stands in this short company without any further description — known to the recipient by name alone, grouped with Eubulus, Linus, Claudia, and the wider body of brothers in the Roman assembly.
