Philemon 22-24

New English Translation

²²At the same time also, prepare a place for me to stay, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given back to you.

²³Epaphras,^[a] my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you. ²⁴Mark, Aristarchus,^[b] Demas,^[c] and Luke, my colaborers, greet you too.

Philemon 1:23 sn Epaphras is probably a shortened form of the name Epaphroditus. This is probably the same individual whom Paul spoke of as “my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier” in Phil 2:25 (see also Phil 4:18). He is also mentioned in Col 1:7 and 4:12, where he is a founder of the church in Colossae (BDAG 360 s.v. ᾿Επαφρᾶς).
Philemon 1:24 sn Aristarchus accompanied Paul on his journey as a prisoner to Rome in Acts 27:2. He is also mentioned as a fellow prisoner in Col 4:10.
Philemon 1:24 sn Demas is most likely the same individual mentioned in Col 4:14 and 2 Tim 4:10. Apparently, he later on abandoned the faith because of his love of the world.
