The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1

And he came also for then came he, A.V. and T.R.; to Lystra for Lystra, A.V. ; Timothy for Timotheus, A.V. ; of a Jewess for of a certain woman which was a Jewess, A.V. and T.R.; which for and, A.V. For Derbe and Lystra , see Acts 14:1-28 . and notes. This time St. Paul visited Derbe first, whereas before he came from Lystra to Derbe ( Acts 14:6 , Acts 14:8 , Acts 14:21 ). Was there ; viz. at Lystra (see 2 Timothy 3:11 ). A certain disciple ; i.e. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1

The character of Timothy. This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul, and with such complete sympathy shared his thoughts and his work, that he deserves a careful study, and his character will be found to have points of interest from which important practical lessons may be drawn. He is introduced to us in this passage, but we must assume the fuller knowledge of him that is conveyed by historical references in the Acts and Epistles, and by the letters of counsel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1-5

The choice of a fit person. The ordination of Timothy to be a minister of God, and St. Paul's fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ ( 1 Timothy 4:14 ; 2 Timothy 1:6 ; 1 Thessalonians 3:2 ), was a great event in the Church's history. The character of her individual bishops and priests has always been a matter of paramount importance, and in nothing do we see the wisdom of the great apostle more conspicuous than in the choice of his fellow-laborers, He who refused Mark, because he was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1-5

The Church's duty and reward. I. THE DUTY OF THE CHURCH . 1. To encourage and develop Christian talent. When Paul went to Lystra he found the Church there speaking well of a young disciple, Timotheus. This convert was "well reported of by the brethren" ( Acts 16:2 ), and "him Paul would have to go forth with him" ( Acts 16:3 ). The Church praised him who was praiseworthy; and the minister trusted and encouraged him who was trustworthy, leading him on to higher things,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1-5

Paul's second missionary journey commenced. I. ENLARGED WORK THE FRUIT OF ENLARGED CAPACITY AND EXPERIENCE . 1. In his own spirit—by faithful service and abundant grace received. 2. In his higher standing among his brethren. The sympathy and confidence expressed by the Churches of Antioch and Jerusalem lifted up Paul's spirit to a higher level. 3. In the clearer course opened by the settlement of the controversy as to the position of the Gentile converts. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1-5

Apostolic devotion owned. The opening two little words of the fifth verse must not be neglected. The fifth verse does not merely summarize the incidents narrated in the preceding four verses. It connects them as effects with their just causes, or with that which was in part, and as matter of fact, their just cause. Observe, then, that— I. THE LOVE OF APOSTOLIC HEARTS ESTABLISHES FAITH IN THE HEARTS OF OTHERS AND INCREASES THE SPREAD OF IT . II. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:1-8

Paul and Timothy. In the intercourse of the great apostle with Timothy, and the history of the latter, we have an interesting episode. I. THE YOUNG DISCIPLE . His case shows: 1. The blessing of a pious mother. The mother's love gives force to all her lessons, sanctity to the curliest of life's recollections. "Knowing of whom thou hast learned them." 2. The blessing of Christian society. He enjoyed the testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. Not only the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 16:2

The same for which, A.V. This is an improvement, as making it plain that it was Timothy, not his father, who was well reported of . For the phrase, ὅς ἐμαρτυοεῖτο see Acts 6:3 ; Acts 10:22 ; Luke 4:22 . At Lystra and Iconium ; coupled together, as in 2 Timothy 3:11 . It appears, too, from Acts 14:19 , that there was close communication between Icouium and Lystra. The brethren at Iconium would, therefore, naturally know all about young Timothy. read more

He took for took, A.V.; that for which, A.V.; parts for quarters, A.V.; all knew for knew all, A.V. Circumcised him . The Jewish origin of Timothy on his mother's side was a sufficient reason for circumcising him, according to the maxim, Partus sequitur ventrem. And it could be done without prejudice to the rights of Gentile converts as established in the decrees of which St. Paul was bearer. Because of the Jews ; not the Christian Jews, who ought to know better than... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 16:1

Then came he - That is, Paul in company with Silas. Luke does not give us the history of Barnabas, but confines his narrative to the journey of Paul.To Derbe and Lystra - See the notes on Acts 14:6.And behold, a certain disciple named Timotheus - It was to this disciple that Paul afterward addressed the two epistles which bear his name. It is evident that he was a native of one of these places, but whether of Derbe or Lystra it is impossible to determine.The son of a certain woman ... - Her... read more
