AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 16:1 Now Paul traveled to Derbe and also to Lystra. A disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer [in Christ], however, his father was a Greek. |
Bible Question: During the Roman Empire, many Christians were killed because of their religious beliefs.This opposition by the pagan roman society was so bad that Christians were regularly attacked and physically assaulted by witches, astrologers, and mediums. In fact, it was at such an event that Timothy, Paul's disciple and the pastor of the Ephesian Church, was brutally murdered. My question is where can I find the story about Timothy's life and death at? |
Bible Answer: "St. Timothy has been regarded by some as the "angel of the church of Ephesus", Apoc., ii, 1-17. According to the ancient Roman martyrology he died Bishop of Ephesus. The Bollandists (24 Jan.) give two lives of St. Timothy, one ascribed to Polycrates (an early Bishop of Ephesus, and a contemporary of St. Irenæus) and the other by Metaphrastes, which is merely an expansion of the former. The first states that during the Neronian persecution St. John arrived at Ephesus, where he lived with St. Timothy until he was exiled to Patmos under Domitian. Timothy, who was unmarried, continued Bishop of Ephesus until, when he was over eighty years of age, he was mortally beaten by the pagans." http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14727b.htm The catholic Encyclopedia |
