Demas
First appears at Colossians 4:14
First named in Scripture at Colossians 4:14 — read the chapter.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
a companion and fellow-labourer of Paul during his first imprisonment at Rome (Philemon 1:24; Colossians 4:14). It appears, however, that the love of the world afterwards mastered him, and he deserted the apostle (2 Timothy 4:10).
