Where they appear

  1. Timothy joins Paul

    Timothy, a disciple well spoken of by the believers in Lystra and Iconium, joined Paul. As they traveled through the cities they delivered the decisions of the apostles and elders, and the churches grew daily.

  2. The vision of the man of Macedonia

    Kept by the Spirit from speaking in Asia and from entering Bithynia, the travelers came down to Troas. There Paul saw a vision of a man of Macedonia begging him to come and help, and they set out at once.

  3. A straight course to Samothrace

    Setting sail from Troas, they made a straight course to Samothrace.

  4. Landing at Neapolis

    The next day they reached Neapolis, and from there went on to Philippi.

  5. The Bereans examine the Scriptures

    The Jews of the synagogue at Berea received the word eagerly and examined the Scriptures daily; many believed, along with prominent Greek women and men. When opponents came from Thessalonica, the believers sent Paul away toward the sea while Silas and Timothy stayed.

  6. A year and a half in Corinth

    Paul lived and worked as a tentmaker with Aquila and Priscilla. After Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia and the synagogue opposed him, he left it for the house of Justus next door; Crispus believed with his household, and after a vision in the night Paul stayed a year and six months, teaching.

  7. Timothy and Erastus are sent to Macedonia

    Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying that afterward he must also see Rome. He sent two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, while he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

  8. Companions waiting at Troas

    Acts names those who accompanied Paul as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. They had gone ahead and were waiting at Troas, where Paul’s party joined them and stayed seven days.

  9. Timothy sent to Corinth

    Writing to the assembly at Corinth, Paul said he had sent Timothy, his beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind them of his ways in Christ, as he taught everywhere in every assembly.

  10. Paul hopes to send Timothy to Philippi

    Paul and Timothy wrote together to the saints at Philippi. Paul told them he hoped to send Timothy to them soon, as soon as he saw how things would go with him, for Timothy had served with him in the Good News as a child serves a father.

  11. Timothy sent to Thessalonica

    Paul wrote to the Thessalonians that when they could bear it no longer, “we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,” and sent Timothy to establish and comfort them in their faith amid afflictions. Timothy had since come back with good news of their faith and love.

  12. Timothy asked to stay at Ephesus

    Paul reminded Timothy that, when Paul was going into Macedonia, he had urged him to stay at Ephesus and command certain men not to teach a different doctrine.
