Acts 15:36-41Paul’s 2nd Journey; Paul and Barnabas Separate36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. 38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39 And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
How Timothy Enters the Work of Paul
Acts 16:1-5Timothy Joins Paul and Silas
16 Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. 2 He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. 3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
How Timothy Enters the Work of Paul
Paul’s 2nd Journey
Paul’s 2nd Journey
Timothy Enters the Work of Paul
• Paul meets Timothy in Lystra. Described as young (1 Timothy 4:12).
• Mother (Eunice) was a Jew who became a Christian. Grandmother (Lois) was also a Christian. (2 Timothy 1:5). Father was a Greek.
• Timothy had a good reputation among the brethren at both Lystra and Iconium (18 miles northeast).
• Had not been circumcised, so Paul did that. Reason was because of the Jews’ knowledge that he was of Greek heritage.
Timothy Enters the Work of Paul
• Though not necessary for salvation, not being circumcised would have hampered their efforts among the Jews.
• Timothy will be Paul’s coworker and companion for the next 16-17 years.
• Repeatedly used by Paul as a messenger (Acts 18:5; I Thessalonians 3:1-6; Acts 19:22; I Corinthians 4:17, 16:10-11).
• Included in the introductory greeting in six of Paul’s epistles (1st and 2nd Thessalonians, 2nd Corinthians, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians).
Timothy assists Paul• Shared in the evangelization of
Macedonia and Achaia.• Aided Paul for three years at
Ephesus.• Sent to Corinth by Paul and
described as his “beloved and faithful child in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 4:17).
• Paul tells the Philippians (2:19-23) that he “had no one like him who would genuinely be concerned for their welfare”.
Timothy assists Paul• Joined Paul at Rome near the end
of Paul’s life (2nd Timothy 4:11, 21).
• Suffered imprisonment himself (Hebrews 13:23).
• Letters of 1st and 2nd Timothy written by Paul near the end of his life.
Time and Place of Writing• Paul released from first imprisonment
possibly as early as A.D. 61, likely no later than Summer of A.D. 63.
• Paul resumed his preaching efforts soon after release. Timothy was urged by Paul (who was in Macedonia) to remain at Ephesus to combat false teachers (I Timothy 1:3).
• Paul hoped to come to Ephesus, but thought he might be delayed (I Timothy 3:15).
• This helps us see that I Timothy was likely written by Paul while he was in Macedonia. Estimates vary, but likely A.D. 62, or A.D. 63.
Time and Place of Writing• No suggestion in either book that large
scale persecutions were occurring.• 1st and 2nd Timothy written during the
reign of Nero as Emperor. • Nero did instigate full scale persecution
of Christians, but not until after the great fire in Rome on July 19, A.D. 64.
• Several ancient sources state that Peter and Paul were both executed about the same time. Others say Peter was crucified in A.D. 64/65 and Paul beheaded in A.D. 66.
I and II Timothy• Two of three books (w/Titus)
frequently referred to in the religious world as the “Pastoral Epistles”. This term reflects lack of understanding of the term (or office) of Pastor.
• A more accurate description would be “Evangelistic Epistles” because they provide instruction for an Evangelist or Preacher.
I Timothy Major Themes• Teach nothing but sound doctrine.• God showed mercy to Paul to
make of him an example to lead others to Christ.
• Wage the good warfare.• Pray for everyone.• Qualifications for Elders and
Deacons.• Know how to behave in the
household of God.• Some will depart from the faith.
I Timothy Major Themes• How to be a good servant.• Care of certain widows.• Honoring Elders.• Godliness with contentment.• Fight the good fight.• Charge the rich to not put their
hopes on riches.
