1 | Timothy died at age 80 in 97 AD? | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241351 | ||
EdB, Thanks for your reply, which is kind very contradictory to our usual Sunday school teaching in which Timothy is depicted as a boy while Paul as an old man with beard as well as a pastor's sermon, which is not much different from the Sunday school one. By the way, do you know "the" original source of the argument that Timothy was martyred at age 80 in 97 AD? | ||||||
2 | Timothy died at age 80 in 97 AD? | 2 Tim 2:22 | EdB | 241353 | ||
The easiest answer would be for me to say "tradition." In this case tradition may have come from Eusebius: The History of the Church. However I really like the scholarship of Foxes Book of Martyrs and in that book in the Second chapter near the end of the subtopic Second Persecution, it tells of the Timothy's martyrdom. And that is where I gleaned it. |
