Acts 16:1-5 - Timothy Accompanies Paul And Silas
1 Paul arrived then at Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish convert, but his father a Greek. 2 as the brethren of Lystra and Iconium gave him a good character, Paul had a mind he should accompany him. 3 so he took him and had him circumcised, out of regard to the Jews of that country, who all knew his father was a Greek. 4 as they pass'd through the cities, they recommended it to the faithful to observe the decisions, made by the apostles and presbyters at Jerusalem. 5 thus were the churches established in the faith, and daily grew more numerous.
