This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
Ver. 24. Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas] Here Demas was in good credit with the apostle, but soon after fell away; like as glass, and some baser metals, shine brightest in the fire when nearest of all to melting, or as the candle giveth a great blaze when going out with a stench. Hypocrites have their non-ultra when the godly man’s motto is (as was Charles V’s) Ulterius, Further yet, on, on.
