Only Luke is with me; of whom we also read Colossians 4:14. He was a physician, Paul's fellow labourer, Philemon 1:24. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; of Mark we read Acts 12:12, Acts 15:37. He was kinsman to Barnabas, Colossians 4:10. It appears by that text that he was at Rome with Paul, and his fellow labourer, Philemon 1:24, For he is prifitable to me for the ministry; the ministry of the gospel. Paul's care was more for that, than for a ministering to himself, though he was a prisioner.
