Mark names Rufus in his Gospel to provide a specific and personal connection to the early Christian community. Rufus is likely the son of Simon of Cyrene, who carried the cross for Jesus, and mentioning him may have served to identify and encourage the audience by linking them to known figures in the faith. This detail adds a layer of authenticity and relatability to the narrative, distinguishing Mark's account from those of the other Gospel writers.
