2 Timothy 4:20

Verse 20

20. Erastus Mentioned as city treasurer of Corinth in Romans 16:23; as going by commission from St. Paul to Corinth from Ephesus with Timothy, (Acts 19:22,) and here as being with Timothy at Ephesus. He probably ceased from the treasurership when he took up the gospel.

Trophimus Known only as mentioned in Acts 20:4; Acts 21:29; where see notes. Trophimus could not have been left at Miletus on Paul’s journey to his first imprisonment at Rome, of which we have a full narrative in Acts 28:0. Paul, therefore, writes this from a second and last imprisonment.
