Acts 16:4

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.4As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
