16 Now Paul also arrived at (A)Derbe and at (B)Lystra. And behold, a disciple was there, named (C)Timothy, the son of a (D)Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, 2 and he was well spoken of by (E)the brothers who were in (F)Lystra and (G)Iconium. 3 Paul wanted this man to [a]go with him, and he (H)took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

Paul’s Second Missionary Journey
16 Paul went first to Derbe and then to Lystra, where there was a young disciple named Timothy.

In deference to the Jews of the area, he arranged for Timothy to be circumcised before they left, for everyone knew that his father was a Greek.
