Acts 16:1-5 - Timothy Accompanies Paul And Silas
1 And he came down also to Derbe and to Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, Timothy by name, son of a believing Jewish woman, but of a Grecian father; 2 who was well reported of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium; 3 this one Paul wished to go forth with him; and, taking him, he circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 And, as they were journeying through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 So the assemblies were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
