'''Demas''' is mentioned in the [[New Testament]] and appears to be a man who was a Christian, who was involved in the ministry of the gospel of Christ as a companion of the [[Apostle Paul]], who later turned his back on the faith. He was with Paul during his first imprisonment in Rome, but later when Paul wrote [[Second Timothy]] he noted that "Demas had forsaken him, having loved this present world." See [[Colossians]] 4:14, [[Philemon 1:24]] and [[2 Timothy 4:10]].
