as do Mark
Mark, also known as John Mark, is a significant figure in the New Testament. He is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of Mark. Mark's journey with Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys is documented in Acts 12:25 and Acts 15:37-39. Despite an earlier conflict with Paul, as noted in Acts 15:38, Mark is later seen as a valuable companion, indicating reconciliation and growth in his ministry (2 Timothy 4:11). This highlights themes of forgiveness and restoration within the Christian community.

Aristarchus
Aristarchus is a Macedonian from Thessalonica and a faithful companion of Paul. He is mentioned in Acts 19:29 as being seized during the riot in Ephesus, showing his dedication and willingness to suffer for the Gospel. Aristarchus also accompanies Paul on his journey to Rome (Acts 27:2), indicating his steadfast loyalty. His presence in Philemon 1:24 underscores the importance of fellowship and support among early Christians, as well as the diverse backgrounds of those who contributed to the spread of Christianity.

Demas
Demas is mentioned here as a fellow worker, but later in 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul notes that Demas has deserted him, "because he loved this present world." This serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of worldly temptations and the importance of perseverance in faith. Demas's story is a reminder of the spiritual battles faced by believers and the need for vigilance and commitment to the Christian walk.

and Luke
Luke, the beloved physician, is the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. His detailed accounts provide a comprehensive narrative of Jesus' life and the early church. Luke's presence with Paul, as noted in Colossians 4:14, highlights his role as a loyal companion and chronicler of the early Christian movement. His contributions are invaluable for understanding the historical and theological context of the New Testament.

my fellow workers
The term "fellow workers" emphasizes the collaborative nature of early Christian ministry. Paul often refers to his companions as co-laborers in the Gospel, highlighting the communal effort required to spread Christianity. This phrase reflects the unity and diversity within the body of Christ, as individuals from various backgrounds and skills come together for a common purpose. It also serves as an encouragement for believers to work together in their spiritual endeavors, supporting one another in faith and mission.
