ISB ~ Colossians 4 v10 - 17

A list of final instructions and personal greetings. Many of these names at the end of Colossians are also listed in Philemon, indicating that the two letters were probably written and delivered at the same time (Philem 2, 10, 23). Traditionally, the Mark (Col 4:10) and Luke (4:14) here mentioned are identified with the evangelists who wrote the second and third Gospels, respectively. Both men were among Paul’s traveling companions (Acts 12:25; 16:10), and both assisted the apostle in the closing years of his life (2 Tim 4:11).
