PHILEMON—NOTE ON Philemon 1:24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are also named in Colossians 4:10, Colossians 4:14. For Mark, see Acts 12:12. For Aristarchus, see Acts 19:29. Demas later was drawn away by worldly pursuits and deserted Paul (2 Timothy 4:10). Luke is almost certainly the one who authored the Gospel of Luke and Acts 1:1 (see 2 Timothy 4:11). Luke was apparently with Paul throughout his two-year imprisonment in Caesarea and also during his two-year Roman imprisonment.
