Romans 16:7

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

AD 400
They were Paul’s kinsmen in flesh and in Spirit, as the angel said to Mary: “Behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth.” Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.

John Chrysostom

AD 407
It was the greatest of honors to be counted a fellow prisoner of Paul’s…. Think what great praise it was to be considered of note among the apostles. These two were of note because of their works and achievements. Think how great the devotion of this woman Junia must have been, that she should be worthy to be called an apostle! But even here Paul does not stop his praise, for they were Christians before he was.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
