2 Timothy 4:11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Take Mark, and bring him with thee:— This is a proof that St. Paul and St. Mark were reconciled again, though the behaviour of the latter had formerly occasioned their separation: Acts 15:39. The great value which St. Paul retained for St. Mark, even till the last, is here expressed in clear and strong terms; for this was written not long before the apostle's martyrdom, when almost all his companions had forsaken him; and yet he speaks most affectionately of St. Mark, as one who would not desert him, but be peculiarly serviceable to him in his present situation, and greatly promote the gospel.
