1 Il se rendit ensuite à Derbe et à Lystre. Et voici, il y avait là un disciple nommé Timothée, fils d’une femme juive fidèle et d’un père grec.
2 Les frères de Lystre et d’Icone rendaient de lui un bon témoignage.
3 Paul voulut l’emmener avec lui; et, l’ayant pris, il le circoncit, à cause des Juifs qui étaient dans ces lieux-là, car tous savaient que son père était grec.

5 Les Églises se fortifiaient dans la foi, et augmentaient en nombre de jour en jour.
