2 Timothy 4:11: "Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry."
Almost all scholars are in agreement that the Second Epistle to Timothy is a pseudepigraphical letter written during the second century and merely using Paul's name to gain acceptance of the epistle's message. A typical method that ancient forgers used to satisfy readers that a writing was genuine, was to include personal details, in this case including the mention of Mark. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really was the person to whom the letter appears to be written, and in this case the letter was really written to all Christians to introduce new doctrines about the roles of bishops and similar matters.

Paul asked Timothy to bring Mark to him because he believed Mark would be helpful for ministry. Mark had previously left Paul and Barnabas during a missionary journey, causing some tension, but Paul saw potential in Mark and wanted to give him another chance to serve in ministry.

Though Paul was a very well educated man, devote in his belief, a well recognized man among the chief sect of the pharisees, yet when he stood as witness to Stephen's death, Paul also heard The message Stephen preached, for which he was stoned as given in Acts Ch. 7 and 8. As the scripture teaches, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all that believes. It takes the preached Gospel to prick our heart, our concious as to our lost condition. Stephen's last message did just that to Paul, then called Saul. Paul's burden on the road to Damacus was no doubt heavy. Do Doubt Stephen's words rang over and over in his heart for the Lord ask Saul/Paul for in Acts 9:5 "is it hard for thee to kick against the pricks".. Notice Paul's immediate acceptance of the Jesus Stephen had preached to him when he answered "what would you have me to do Lord.
