Timothy honouring God ,
a young disciple who was Paul '
s companion in many of his journeyings .
His mother ,
Eunice ,
and his grandmother ,
Lois ,
are mentioned as eminent for their piety (
2 Tim .
1 :
5 ).
We know nothing of his father but that he was a Greek (
Acts 16 :
1 ).
He is first brought into notice at the time of Paul '
s second visit to Lystra (
16 :
2 ),
where he probably resided ,
and where it seems he was converted during Paul '
s first visit to that place (
1 Tim .
1 :
2 ;
2 Tim .
3 :
11 ).
The apostle having formed a high opinion of his "
own son in the faith ,"
arranged that he should become his companion (
Acts 16 :
3 ),
and took and circumcised him ,
so that he might conciliate the Jews .
He was designated to the office of an evangelist (
1 Tim .
4 :
14 ),
and went with Paul in his journey through Phrygia ,
Galatia ,
and Mysia ;
also to Troas and Philippi and Berea (
Acts 17 :
14 ).
Thence he followed Paul to Athens ,
and was sent by him with Silas on a mission to Thessalonica (
17 :
15 ;
1 Thess .
3 :
2 ).
We next find him at Corinth (
1 Thess .
1 :
1 ;
2 Thess .
1 :
1 )
with Paul .
He passes now out of sight for a few years ,
and is again noticed as with the apostle at Ephesus (
Acts 19 :
22 ),
whence he is sent on a mission into Macedonia .
He accompanied Paul afterwards into Asia (
20 :
4 ),
where he was with him for some time .
When the apostle was a prisoner at Rome ,
Timothy joined him (
Phil .
1 :
1 ),
where it appears he also suffered imprisonment (
Heb .
13 :
23 ).
During the apostle '
s second imprisonment he wrote to Timothy ,
asking him to rejoin him as soon as possible ,
and to bring with him certain things which he had left at Troas ,
his cloak and parchments (
2 Tim .
4 :
13 ).
According to tradition ,
after the apostle '
s death he settled in Ephesus as his sphere of labour ,
and there found a martyr '
s grave .
