1 Chegou a Derbe e depois a Listra, onde vivia um discípulo chamado Timóteo. Sua mãe era uma judia convertida e seu pai era grego.

3 Paulo, querendo levá-lo na viagem, circuncidou-o por causa dos judeus que viviam naquela região, pois todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.

1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek. 3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
