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