Acts 16:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

16 And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.

² To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.

³ Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.

⁴ And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.

⁵ And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
