Acts 16:1-4

1Paul arrived in the city of Derbe and then went to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived. Timothy’s mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was Greek.

2The believers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of Timothy.

3Paul wanted Timothy to go with him. So he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in those places and because he knew that Timothy’s father was Greek.

4As they went through the cities, they told people about the decisions that the apostles and spiritual leaders  in Jerusalem had made for the people.
