Col 4:14
  Interlinear
Our beloved Luke, the physician, also sends his greetings.
[Luke had traveled with Paul on several of his journeys and wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.]
Demas also sends his greetings.
[Demas is also mentioned in Philemon 1:24. However, he eventually abandoned Paul for worldly interests and went to Thessalonica, see 2 Tim 4:10. It is likely that he came from Thessalonica in the same way as Aristarchus, see verse 10.]

Titus
has gone to Dalmatia [region north of Macedonia, present-day southwestern Croatia]. [Demas, which is a shortened form of the name Demetrius, had previously been a close associate of Paul, see Philem. 1:24. He was not a jew, see Col. 4:11, 14. He had abandoned Paul in Rome and moved to Thessalonica, which was probably his hometown. Crescens and Titus were sent on new missions. Earlier, Paul had written to Titus in Crete and asked him to spend the winter in Nicopolis, see Titus 3:12.]
