- 2 Timothy 4:11 Luke: the “beloved physician,” mentioned in Col 4:14 and Philem 24, who accompanied Paul throughout much of his Second and Third Missionary Journeys (see note on Acts 16:9-15). Mark: the same person who had left Paul and Barnabas in the midst of the First Missionary Journey (see Acts 13:13). Paul’s refusal to take him along on the Second Missionary Journey caused Barnabas to separate himself from the Apostle and take Mark with him on a mission to Cyprus (see Acts 15:36-41). However, Mark later proved himself to Paul and was present with him during the first Roman imprisonment (see Col 4:10; Philem 24).
