Act 19:29
  Interlinear
The whole city was in an uproar (a commotion arose), and from all sides people rushed to the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who had traveled with Paul.
Act 20:4
  Interlinear
The [seven representatives from the congregations that had collected funds for Jerusalem and] who traveled with Paul were:
Sopater (Gk. Sopatros), son of Pyrrhus from Berea,
[Sosipater, mentioned in Rom. 16:21, is the same person who represented the church in Corinth.]
Aristarchus (Gk: Aristarchos) and Secundus (Gk: Sekondos) from Thessalonica,
[Aristarchus had also been with Paul in Ephesus, see Acts 19:29; 27:2; Col. 4:10.] Gaius (Gk: Gaios) from Derbe and Timothy (Gk: Timotheos) [from Lystra],
[Both were from southern Galatia, see Acts 16:1. Timothy traveled with Paul on both his second and third journeys.]
Tychicus (Gk. Tuchikos) and Trophimus (Gk. Trofimos) from [the Roman province of] Asia.
[Tychicus was a co-worker of Paul who is mentioned in his later letters, see Col. 4:7; Eph. 6:21; 2 Tim 4:12; Tit 3:12. Trophimus was from Ephesus, see Acts 21:29.]
Act 27:2
  Interlinear
[I, Luke, was also allowed to accompany them.] We boarded a ship from Adramyttium that [was heading home and] was going to the ports along the coast of Asia. [Adramyttium was near the city of Troas in Asia Minor.] We set sail [from Caesarea]. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, also accompanied us. [He had traveled with Paul before, see Acts 19:29; 20:4. He is also mentioned by Paul, see Col. 4:10; Philem. 1:24.]
Col 4:10
  Interlinear
[In addition to Timothy, who is mentioned at the beginning of the letter, six other people who were with Paul in Rome now send their greetings to the believers in Colossae and the surrounding churches.]
My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends his greetings to you.
[His name means “the best ruler.” Aristarchus was from Thessalonica, see Acts 19:29; 20:4. He probably became a Christian when Paul came to Thessalonica, see Acts 17:1–9. During the collection for the church in Jerusalem, he was chosen to accompany them. He remained at Paul's side on the way to Rome, see Acts 27:2. He is one of the three men of Jewish background who are with Paul at this time, see verse 11.]
Mark, Barnabas' cousin, also sends his greetings. You have been instructed about him: welcome him if he comes to you.
[John Mark was from Jerusalem. It was in his mother's house that the congregation gathered and prayed when Peter was miraculously freed, see Acts 12:12. Mark traveled with Paul and Barnabas, but he interrupted his journey in Perga, see Acts 13:13. Mark was close to Peter, who calls him his son, see 1 Pet. 5:13. Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark, which contains many details from Peter's experiences with Jesus.]
Phm 1:24
  Interlinear
So do my fellow workers: Mark [John Mark], Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke. [There is a reason why Paul mentions the last four people, whom Philem. probably did not know but had certainly heard of. The fact that Mark is mentioned first may be because he had abandoned Paul but was restored, see Acts 13:13; 15:39; Col. 4:10; 2 Tim 4:11. This was a fine testimony that spoke directly to Philem. situation about how his relationship with Onesimus could also be restored. John Mark, which was his full name, was originally from Jerusalem and was Barnabas' cousin, see Col. 4:10. It was in Mark's mother's house that the church gathered and prayed when Peter was miraculously freed, see Acts 12:12. Mark traveled with Paul and Barnabas, but he interrupted the journey in Perga, see Acts 13:13. Mark was close to Peter, who calls him his son, see 1 Pet. 5:13. Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark, which contains many details from Peter's experiences with Jesus. Aristarchus was from Thessalonica, see Acts 19:29; 20:4. He probably became a Christian when Paul came to Thessalonica, see Acts 17:1–9. During the collection for the church in Jerusalem, he was chosen to accompany them. He remained at Paul's side on the way to Rom, see Acts 27:2. He is one of three men of Jewish background who are with Paul at this time, see Col. 4:11. It is likely that Demas also came from Thessalonica in the same way as Aristarchus. Demas eventually abandoned Paul for worldly interests and went to Thessalonica, see 2 Tim. 4:10. Luke was a physician, see Col. 4:14. He had traveled with Paul on several of his journeys and wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.]
