テモテへの手紙Ⅱ 4:10-14 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:9-22

Personal. I. TIMOTHY . 1 . Requested to come to Rome. "Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me." His formerly expressed longing to see him ( 2 Timothy 1:4 ) is now turned into a formal request to come, and to come shortly, unto him. In the diligence he was to show in this there is not the idea of pure haste, but of the utmost haste that was compatible with the interests of Christ at Ephesus. Certain arrangements would require to be made, not merely for his journey, but for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:10

Forsook for hath forsaken, A.V.; went for is departed, A.V.; to for unto, A.V. (twice). Demas . Nothing more is known of Demas than what is gathered from the mention of him in Colossians 4:14 and Philemon 1:24 . We learn from those passages that he was a fellow labourer of the apostle, and it is remarkable that in them both he is coupled, as here, with Luke and Mark ( Colossians 4:10 ). (See Introduction.) Having loved this present world. It would appear from this that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:11

Useful for profitable, A.V.; ministering for the ministry, A.V. Luke ; probably a shortened form of Lucanus. Luke was with St. Paul in his voyage to Rome ( Acts 27:1 ; Acts 28:11 , Acts 28:16 ), and when he wrote the Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon ( Colossians 4:14 ; Philemon 1:4 ), having doubtless composed the Acts of the Apostles during St. Paul's two years' imprisonment ( Acts 28:30 ). How he spent his time between that date and the mention of him here as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:12

But for and, A.V.; sent for have sent, A.V. Tychicus was with St. Paul when he wrote the Epistle to the Colossians ( Colossians 4:7 ), as was also Timothy ( Colossians 1:1 ). The presence of Luke, Timothy, Tychicus, Mark, with Paul now, as then, is remarkable (see verse 10, note). I sent to Ephesus. Theodoret (quoted by Alford, 'Proleg. to 2 Timothy,' ch. 9. sect. 1) says, "It is plain from this that St. Timothy was not at this time living at Ephesus, but somewhere else." And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:13

Bring when thou comest for when thou comest bring with thee, A.V.; especially for but especially, A.V. The cloke ( τὸν φελόνην , more properly written φαινόλην ); the Latin paenula, the thick overcoat or cloke. Only here in the New Testament. Some think it was the bag in which the books and parchments were packed. The parchments ( τὰς μεμβράνας ) . This, again, is a Latin word. It occurs only here in the New Testament. They would probably be for the apostle to write... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:13

The apostle's directions concerning his cloke. It has been considered beneath the dignity of inspiration that there should be such a trivial record. But the criticism is singularly superficial. I. THE APOSTLE 'S DIRECTIONS . "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments." 1 . There is no evidence that the cloke was an ecclesiastical vestment ; for there is no evidence of vestments being worn at all in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:14

Will render to him for reward him, A.V. and T.R. Alexander ; apparently an Ephesian, as appears by the words, "of whom be thou ware also." It seems probable, though it is necessarily uncertain, that this Alexander is the same person as that mentioned in 1 Timothy 1:20 as "a blasphemer," which agrees exactly with what is here said of him, "he greatly withstood our words" (comp. Acts 13:45 , "contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed"). He may or may not be the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:14-15

The warning against Alexander the coppersmith. I. THE CHARACTER OF THIS MAN . "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil… for he greatly withstood our words." This implies that he had been at Rome, and was still an enemy to the gospel ( 1 Timothy 1:20 ), as in the day when the apostle delivered him and Hymenaeus over to Satan at Ephesus. Probably trade interests may have inspired the fierceness of his hatred to the apostle, for he may have been an idol maker. He was insulting... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 4:10

For Demas hath forsaken me - Demas is honorably mentioned in Colossians 4:14; but nothing more is known of him than what can be gathered from that place and this - that he was at first a friend and fellow-laborer of Paul, but that, under the influence of a desire to live, he afterward forsook him, even in circumstances where he greatly needed the presence of a friend.Having loved this present world - This does not mean, necessarily, that he was an avaricious man, or that, in itself, he loved... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 4:11

Only Luke is with me - Luke, the author of the gospel which bears his name, and of the Acts of the Apostles. For a considerable part of the ministry of Paul, he was his traveling companion (compare the notes on Acts 16:10), and we know that he went with him to Rome; Acts 27:1.Take Mark - John Mark, see the notes at Acts 15:37. He was the son of a sister of Barnabas, and had been the traveling companion of Barnabas and Paul. There had been a temporary alienation between Paul and him Acts 15:38;... read more
