3. Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him. But all the Jews living in that area knew that Timothy’s father was Greek. So Paul circumcised Timothy to please the Jews.
4. Paul and the men with him traveled from town to town. They gave the decisions made by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5. So the churches became stronger in the faith and grew larger every day.
6. Paul and the men with him went through the areas of Phrygia and Galatia. The Holy Spirit did not let them preach the Good News in Asia.
7. When they came near the country of Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia. But the Spirit of Jesus did not let them.
8. So they passed by Mysia and went to Troas.
