Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was a faithful companion of Paul during his missionary journeys and imprisonment.
Aristarchus was a Macedonian Christian from Thessalonica who became one of Paul's most faithful traveling companions. He was seized by the rioters during the Ephesian uproar (Acts 19:29) and later accompanied Paul on the voyage toward Rome (Acts 27:2). Paul refers to him as a 'fellow prisoner' in Colossians 4:10, suggesting he shared Paul's Roman imprisonment, and as a 'fellow worker' in Philemon 1:24. His willingness to remain with Paul through riot, sea voyage, and imprisonment marks him as one of the most loyal members of Paul's missionary circle, embodying the costly solidarity of apostolic ministry.
