Commentary on Acts 16:2

Theological / Devotional

Well reported of. Similar expressions are used of Cornelius (ch. 10:22), and of Ananias (ch. 22:12). Such a report would tend to encourage Paul to choose the young man for his companion.

Brethren. That is, the members of the Christian churches in the area. During the three or four years that had passed since Paul’s previous visit (ch. 14:6, 7), the new congregations had developed, and the character of such an earnest member as Timothy was well known. Intercourse between the churches of Lystra and Iconium was easy, since only 20 mi. lay between them.
