Commentaries and Concordances

PNT:

4:10 There follow Christian remembrances from several of Paul's companions.
Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner. A Macedonian from Thessalonica (Ac 19:29 20:04 27:2). He accompanied Paul from Jerusalem to Rome. He is named in Phm 1:24.
And Marcus. The old companion of Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary tour (Ac 13:5,13).
Sister's son to Barnabas. It is now conceded that this should be, Cousin to Barnabas. Since in this year (probably A.D. 62) Mark attends Paul, it is inferred that Barnabas was dead.
Concerning whom. Mark.
Commandments. Commendations.
Receive him. Perhaps these churches knew that at one time Paul had refused to have Mark in his company (Ac 15:38), and hence would not have received him cordially without such a commendation.

WES:

4:10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner - Such was Epaphras likewise for a time, Phm 1:23. Ye have received directions - Namely, by Tychicus, bringing this letter. The ancients adapted their language to the time of reading the letter; not, as we do, to the time when it was written. It is not improbable, they might have scrupled to receive him, without this fresh direction, after he had left St. Paul, and departed from the work.

MHC:

4:10-18 Paul had differed with Barnabas, on the account of this Mark, yet he is not only reconciled, but recommends him to the churches; an example of a truly Christian and forgiving spirit. If men have been guilty of a fault, it must not always be remembered against them. We must forget as well as forgive. The apostle had comfort in the communion of saints and ministers. One is his fellow-servant, another his fellow-prisoner, and all his fellow-workers, working out their own salvation, and endeavouring to promote the salvation of others. The effectual, fervent prayer is the prevailing prayer, and availeth much. The smiles, flatteries, or frowns of the world, the spirit of error, or the working of self-love, leads many to a way of preaching and living which comes far short of fulfilling their ministry. But those who preach the same doctrine as Paul, and follow his example, may expect the Divine favour and blessing.
