Acts 16:1-3

Mace(i) 1 Paul arrived then at Derbe and Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish convert, but his father a Greek. 2 as the brethren of Lystra and Iconium gave him a good character, Paul had a mind he should accompany him. 3 so he took him and had him circumcised, out of regard to the Jews of that country, who all knew his father was a Greek.
