1 E chegou a Derbe e Listra. E eis que estava ali um certo discípulo por nome Timóteo, filho de uma judia que era crente, mas de pai grego;

3 Paulo quis que este fosse com ele; e tomando-o, o circuncidou, por causa dos judeus que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.

1 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek.

3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
