Among the assistants of Paul in his labors were many of his former companions and fellow-workers. Luke, “the beloved physician,” who had attended him in the journey to Jerusalem, through the two years’ imprisonment at Caesarea, and upon his last perilous voyage, was with him still. Timothy also ministered to his comfort. Tychicus was his mail-bearer, taking his messages to the different churches which they had visited together. Demas and Mark also were with him.{LP 282.1}

Iblandt Paulus hjælpere i hans arbejde, var der mange af hans tidligere ledsagere og medarbejdere. Lukas, "den elskede læge," som ledsagede ham på rejsen til Jerusalem, i de to års fængsling i Kaseræa, og på hans sidste farlige rejse, var han stadig hos ham. Timotius tjente også til hans bekvemmelighed. Tykikus bragte post, og to budskaberne med ud til forskellige menigheder, som de havde besøgt sammen. Demas og Mark var også med ham.
