Only Luke is with me (Loukav estin monov met emou). Luke is with Paul now in Rome as during the first Roman imprisonment (Philemon 1:24; Colossians 4:14).
Take Mark (Markon analabwn). Second aorist active participle of analambanw, old verb, to pick up, as in Ephesians 6:13, Ephesians 6:16. "Pick up Mark."
He is useful to me (estin moi euxrhstov). See II Timothy 2:21 for euxrhstov. Paul had long ago changed his opinion of Mark (Colossians 4:10) because Mark had changed his conduct and had made good in his ministry. Now Paul longs to have the man that he once scornfully rejected (Acts 15:37 ff.).
