  Timothy
     honouring God, a young disciple who was Paul's companion in many
     of his journeyings. His mother, Eunice, and his grandmother,
     Lois, are mentioned as eminent for their piety (2 Tim. 1:5). We
     know nothing of his father but that he was a Greek (Acts 16:1).
     He is first brought into notice at the time of Paul's second
     visit to Lystra (16:2), where he probably resided, and where it
     seems he was converted during Paul's first visit to that place
     (1 Tim. 1:2; 2 Tim. 3:11). The apostle having formed a high
     opinion of his "own son in the faith," arranged that he should
     become his companion (Acts 16:3), and took and circumcised him,
     so that he might conciliate the Jews. He was designated to the
     office of an evangelist (1 Tim. 4:14), and went with Paul in his
     journey through Phrygia, Galatia, and Mysia; also to Troas and
     Philippi and Berea (Acts 17:14). Thence he followed Paul to
     Athens, and was sent by him with Silas on a mission to
     Thessalonica (17:15; 1 Thess. 3:2). We next find him at Corinth
     (1 Thess. 1:1; 2 Thess. 1:1) with Paul. He passes now out of
     sight for a few years, and is again noticed as with the apostle
     at Ephesus (Acts 19:22), whence he is sent on a mission into
     Macedonia. He accompanied Paul afterwards into Asia (20:4),
     where he was with him for some time. When the apostle was a
     prisoner at Rome, Timothy joined him (Phil. 1:1), where it
     appears he also suffered imprisonment (Heb. 13:23). During the
     apostle's second imprisonment he wrote to Timothy, asking him to
     rejoin him as soon as possible, and to bring with him certain
     things which he had left at Troas, his cloak and parchments (2
     Tim. 4:13). According to tradition, after the apostle's death he
     settled in Ephesus as his sphere of labour, and there found a
     martyr's grave.

  Timothy \Tim"o*thy\ (Bible)
     A disciple and companion of St. Paul. He was the son of a
     Greek and a Jewess, and his home was either at Derbe, or
     Lystra in Lycaonia. Paul set him apart as a minister of the
     new gospel, and after preaching in Macedonia and Achaia, he
     went, at Paul's request to Ephesus, and accompanied the
     apostle to Jerusalem. It was to him that the two epistles to
     Timothy were addressed by the apostle Paul. According to
     tradition, Timothy suffered martyrdom under Domitian. --The
     Student's Cyclopedia, 1897.
