Sha'ul came down to Derbe and went on to Lystra, where there lived a talmid named Timothy. He was the son of a Jewish woman who had come to trust, and a Greek father.

All the brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of Timothy.

When they came to the frontier of Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Yeshua would not let them.
