The Power of Loyal Friendship
Commentators emphasize the profound loyalty of Aristarchus (and Luke), who voluntarily joined Paul on this dangerous journey. They were not prisoners but chose to share in his hardships, providing comfort and support. Scholars see Aristarchus as a powerful example of Christian faithfulness, willing to bear great personal cost to minister to a friend in need.
