Acts 16:1-5 - Timothy Accompanies Paul And Silas

1 And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, and a Greek father, 2 who was of good report by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wished him to go out with him; and having taken him circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. 4 And while they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees which were adjudicated by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem, to keep. 5 Then the churches were indeed strengthened in faith, and abounded in number daily.
