2 Timothy 4:11:
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.
- in the context of 2 Tim 4:6b-7f:
"the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... ersion=NIV
Colossians 4:10, 14:
10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only ones of the circumcision group [Jews] among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me ... 14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings.

19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
- Demas features in 2 Tim 4:10
