2 Timothy 3:11

Verse 11. Persecutions. On the meaning of this word, Mt 5:10.

Afflictions. Trials of other kinds than those which arose from persecutions. The apostle met them everywhere.

Acts 20:23.

Which came unto me at Antioch. The Antioch here referred to is not the place of that name in Syria, Acts 11:19; but a city of the same name in Pisidia, in Asia Minor. Acts 13:14. Paul there suffered persecution from the Jews. Acts 13:46.

At Iconium. Acts 13:51. On the persecution there, Acts 14:3, seq.

At Lystra. Acts 14:6. At this place, Paul was stoned. Acts 14:19. Timothy was a native of either Derbe or Lystra, cities near to each other, and was doubtless there at the time of this occurrence. Acts 16:1.

But out of them all the Lord delivered me. See the history in the places referred to in the Acts of the Apostles.
