2 Timothy 4:9-13
New English Translation
Travel Plans and Concluding Greetings
9 Make every effort to come to me soon. 10 For Demas[a] deserted me, since he loved[b] the present age, and he went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is a great help[c] to me in ministry.[d] 12 Now I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments.

Final Instructions to Timothy
9 Make haste to come to me quickly. 10 For Demas deserted me, because he[a] loved the present age, and went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia; Titus went to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is with me. Take along Mark and[b] bring him with you, because he is useful to me for ministry. 12 But I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you[c] come, bring the cloak that I left behind in Troas with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments.
