Colossians 4:10
There follow Christian remembrances from several of Paul's companions.
Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner. A Macedonian from Thessalonica
(Acts 19:29 20:4 27:2). He accompanied Paul from Jerusalem to Rome.
He is named in Philemon 1:24.
And Marcus. The old companion of Paul and Barnabas on their first
missionary tour (Acts 13:5).
Sister's son to Barnabas. It is now conceded that this should
be, "Cousin to Barnabas". Since in this year (probably A.D. 62) Mark
attends Paul, it is inferred that Barnabas was dead.
Concerning whom. Mark.
Commandments. Commendations.
Receive him. Perhaps these churches knew that at one time Paul
had refused to have Mark in his company (Acts 15:38), and hence
would not have received him cordially without such a commendation.
