A disciple was there, named ⁱTimothy, ^jthe son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. 2 He was well spoken of by ^kthe brothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 40} at Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he ^mtook him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
