Acts 16:1-5 - Timothy Accompanies Paul And Silas
1 Now he went to Derbe and Lystra too. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy, whose mother was a Christian Jewess, but his father was a Greek. 2 He had a high reputation among the brothers in Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wanted this man to join him in his journey; so on account of the Jews in that district he took him and had him circumcised, for everybody knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they journeyed on from town to town, they delivered to the brothers to keep the decisions reached by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. 5 So the churches through faith continued to grow in strength and to increase in numbers from day to day.
