Demas is mentioned in three of the Pauline epistles: *In Philemon (dated to ) he is mentioned as a "fellow worker". *In Colossians (AD 62) he is mentioned along with Luke (the physician and writer of the Luke–Acts). *In Second Timothy, a letter traditionally ascribed to Paul near the end of his life, where it is mentioned that "...for Demas, because he loved this world, he has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica."
