16:1 Paulos and Silas also take Timotheos with them

16 Then Paulos went to Derbai and then on to Lustra where a believer named Timotheos lived. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was Greek. 2 The believers in Lustra and Ikonion spoke well of Timotheos 3 and Paulos wanted him to accompany them on his trip so he circumcised him in advance because of the Yehudim (Jews) in that region—everyone knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they passed through various towns, they explained the decision of the missionaries and elders in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) about which commands they must adhere to. 5 So the assemblies were strengthened in this way and their numbers were increasing each day.

16 And he _arrived also to Derbaʸ and to Lustra.
And see, a_ certain _apprentice/follower was there by_the_name Timotheos, the_son of_a_ believing _woman Youdaiōns, but his_father was of_a_Hellaʸn,

2 who was _being _attested by the brothers in Lustra and Ikonion.

3 The Paulos wanted this one to _come _out with him, and having _taken he _circumcised him, because _of the Youdaiōns which being in the those places, because/for all had _known that the father of _him he _was _being a_Hellaʸn.

4 And while they _were _passing _through the cities, they _were _giving _over to _them the decrees to _be _keeping which having _been _judged by of _the ambassadors and elders which in Hierousalaʸm/(Yərūshālayim).

5 Therefore indeed the assemblies were _being _strengthened in _the faith, and they _were _being _plentiful the in _number in _every day.
