- 2Why Paul would go with Timothy.
1. It appeareth that Timothy had been some time with these Hebrews before: and as an Evangelist had watered that seed which their first planter had sown: and through Gods blessing on his labour, drawn the hearts of the Hebrews to him: which made the news of his liberty to be the more joyful unto them. This Apostle therefore to increase their joy the more, is desirous to bring Timothy in his company to them. Both the one and the other were restrained, and therefore the sight of them both must needs increase their joy. 2. The Apostle would go in company with him, that as occasion was offered, he might use his Ministry and service either in tarrying longer with the Hebrews, then the Apostle himself could: or in sending him to some other Church upon some special employment.
