## translationNotes
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **behold** - The word “behold” alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this. English uses “There was a man who was…”
|
||
|
* **the son of a Jewish woman who believed** - "the son of a Jewish woman who believed in Christ"
|
||
|
* **He was well spoken of** - "Timothy had a good reputation" or "the believers said good things about him"
|
||
|
* **Paul wanted him to travel with him; so he took him** - "Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him (Paul); so Paul took Timothy." All other third person pronouns (he, him, his) throughout these verses refer to Timothy.
|
||
|
* **his father was a Greek ** - As a Greek, Timothy's father would not have personally circumcised Timothy; so Paul circumcised him. Circumcision was often performed by a Jewish Rabbi, such as Paul.
