Demas in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
Contracted from DEMETRIUS, or Demarchus. Paul's "fellow
laborer," along with Mark and Luke (Philemon 1:24), and
companion (Colossians 4:14) during his first Roman
imprisonment. But he declined; for in 2 Timothy 4:10 Paul
writes, "Demas hath forsaken (Greek text: "left behind") me,
having loved this present world (world course), and is
departed unto Thessalonica," probably his home (Chrysostom).
Love of worldly ease and home comforts was his snare, a sad
contrast to "all them that love Christ's appearing" (2 Timothy
4:8).
