Kisah 16:3

Paulus ingin mengajak Timotius ikut dalam pelayanannya. Jadi dia menyunat Timotius supaya orang-orang Yahudi bisa menerima dia. Paulus tidak mau terjadi persoalan, karena semua orang di daerah itu tahu bahwa bapak Timotius adalah orang Yunani.

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
