Colossians 4:11
Paul greets a number of friends and introduces and commends several who work with him.
The apostle's great warmth and true appreciation for his beloved co-workers comes through in these few verses. This should remind us that *no one is an island*. We all need the support of each other in the work of God.
Aristarchus, a Jew from Thessalonica, had been traveling with Paul since the riot that occurred in Ephesus on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:29;20:4). Evidently he remained with Paul even when he was imprisoned in Rome (Acts 27:2).
Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark. At the beginning of his second missionary journey. Paul had refused to take Mark with him (Acts 15:37-40). Evidently the two had been reconciled, for Paul commends him in 2 Timothy 4:11.
*Luke is the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts*. He accompanied Paul on many of his missionary journeys. Demas would later abandon Paul (2 Timothy 4:10).
