Acts 16:1-5

Timothy Accompanies Paul and Silas

1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there {named} Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman but of a Greek father,
2 who was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paul wanted this one to go with him, and he took [him] [and] circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for [they] all knew that his father was Greek.
4 And as they went through the towns, they passed on to them to observe the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders [who were] in Jerusalem.
5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were growing in number every day.
