テモテへの手紙Ⅱ 4:11-13 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:13

The cloak that I left at Troas - Τον φελονην is by several translated bag or portmanteau; and it is most likely that it was something of this kind, in which he might carry his clothes, books, and travelling necessaries. What the books were we cannot tell, it is most likely they were his own writings; and as to the parchments, they were probably the Jewish Scriptures and a copy of the Septuagint. These he must have had at hand at all times. The books and parchments now sent for could not be... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:13

Verse 13 Bring the cloak which I left at Troas As to the meaning of the word φελόνη, (201) commentators are not agreed; for some think that it is a chest or box for containing books, and others that it is a garment used by travelers, and fitted for defending against cold and rain. Whether the one interpretation or the other be adopted, how comes it that Paul should give orders to have either a garment or a chest brought to him from a place so distant, as if there were not workmen, or as if... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:9-12

The apostle's loneliness and need of assistance and comfort. The longing for sympathy and help in his hour of trial was natural. "Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me." There were several reasons for his desire to see Timothy, apart from the natural anxiety to see the most attached of his faithful disciples. I. THE APOSTLE HAD BEEN DESERTED BY DEMAS . "Demas hath forsaken me." 1 . This brought great distress to the apostle: 2 . The cause of the desertion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:9-22

"Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth clave unto her." In this little social incident of some three thousand years ago, which may have passed at the time with little observation, we have a pithy and pregnant example set before us, with the usual searching wisdom of Holy Scripture, of the difference between friendship and friendship, religion and religion, according as they lie deep in the roots of the heart or merely lie on the surface. The contrast between Demas and Luke affords... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:9-22

Personal. I. TIMOTHY . 1 . Requested to come to Rome. "Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me." His formerly expressed longing to see him ( 2 Timothy 1:4 ) is now turned into a formal request to come, and to come shortly, unto him. In the diligence he was to show in this there is not the idea of pure haste, but of the utmost haste that was compatible with the interests of Christ at Ephesus. Certain arrangements would require to be made, not merely for his journey, but for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:11

Useful for profitable, A.V.; ministering for the ministry, A.V. Luke ; probably a shortened form of Lucanus. Luke was with St. Paul in his voyage to Rome ( Acts 27:1 ; Acts 28:11 , Acts 28:16 ), and when he wrote the Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon ( Colossians 4:14 ; Philemon 1:4 ), having doubtless composed the Acts of the Apostles during St. Paul's two years' imprisonment ( Acts 28:30 ). How he spent his time between that date and the mention of him here as... read more

But for and, A.V.; sent for have sent, A.V. Tychicus was with St. Paul when he wrote the Epistle to the Colossians ( Colossians 4:7 ), as was also Timothy ( Colossians 1:1 ). The presence of Luke, Timothy, Tychicus, Mark, with Paul now, as then, is remarkable (see verse 10, note). I sent to Ephesus. Theodoret (quoted by Alford, 'Proleg. to 2 Timothy,' ch. 9. sect. 1) says, "It is plain from this that St. Timothy was not at this time living at Ephesus, but somewhere else." And... read more

Bring when thou comest for when thou comest bring with thee, A.V.; especially for but especially, A.V. The cloke ( τὸν φελόνην , more properly written φαινόλην ); the Latin paenula, the thick overcoat or cloke. Only here in the New Testament. Some think it was the bag in which the books and parchments were packed. The parchments ( τὰς μεμβράνας ) . This, again, is a Latin word. It occurs only here in the New Testament. They would probably be for the apostle to write... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:13

The apostle's directions concerning his cloke. It has been considered beneath the dignity of inspiration that there should be such a trivial record. But the criticism is singularly superficial. I. THE APOSTLE 'S DIRECTIONS . "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments." 1 . There is no evidence that the cloke was an ecclesiastical vestment ; for there is no evidence of vestments being worn at all in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 4:11

Only Luke is with me - Luke, the author of the gospel which bears his name, and of the Acts of the Apostles. For a considerable part of the ministry of Paul, he was his traveling companion (compare the notes on Acts 16:10), and we know that he went with him to Rome; Acts 27:1.Take Mark - John Mark, see the notes at Acts 15:37. He was the son of a sister of Barnabas, and had been the traveling companion of Barnabas and Paul. There had been a temporary alienation between Paul and him Acts 15:38;... read more
