Acts 16:3 in Context — Acts 16
1 E ele veio a Derbe e Listra; e eis que estava ali um certo discípulo, de nome Timóteo, filho de uma certa mulher judia crente, mas de pai grego.
2 Do qual era [bem] testemunhado pelos irmãos [que estavam] em Listra e Icônio.
3 A este Paulo quis que fosse com ele; e tomando-o, circuncidou-o, por causa dos judeus, que estavam naqueles lugares; porque todos conheciam o pai dele, que era grego.
4 E eles, passando pelas cidades, entregavam-lhes as ordenanças que foram determinadas pelos apóstolos e anciãos em Jerusalém, para que [as] guardassem.
5 E assim as Igrejas eram firmadas na fé, e cada dia aumentavam em número.
