Acts 16:1-5 - Timothy Accompanies Paul And Silas
1 He went to Derbe and Lystra also. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy whose mother was a Jewish Christian while his father was a Greek, 2 and who was highly thought of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wished to take this man on with him, and so on account of the Jews in that district he had him circumcised, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they traveled on from one town to another, they passed on to the brothers for their observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. 5 So the churches became stronger and stronger in the faith, and their numbers increased from day to day.
