Matthew Poole and continuators on Colossians 4:13

13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you , and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis .

For saith the Apostle; though I am not privy to his secret prayers, yet I can bear him witness, and do give him mine own testimony, that he hath a most ardent and special affection for you Christians at Coloss.

Yea, and for those also in your neighbour Cities, see the Argument, and ch. 2.1. viz. Laodicea the last of the seven Churches, to whom excellent Epistles were written, recorded by Iohn the Divine, Rev. 1.11. & 3.14. and Hierapolis, or the Holy City, about six Miles distant from the former, say Geographers.
