Acts 16:3-4

³But the Jewish people in those places knew that Timothy’s father was Greek, and they knew that the Greek people don’t do a young man’s operation on their boys, like the Jewish people do. Paul wanted Timothy to go around with him to a lot of places, and he wanted the Jewish mob in every place to be happy with Timothy, so he got them to do a young man’s operation on Timothy.

⁴Then Paul, Silas and Timothy went to the towns in that country, and they told the Christians the things the leaders in Jerusalem talked about, and they told them to do everything those leaders said in their letter.
