#275: Acts 16-18 | Paul circumcises Timothy
Manage episode 435095022 series 3423470
Paul circumcises Timothy, not because he believes circumcision is required (he doesn't), but because he is worried about what Timothy's Jewish neighbors might think. It was a politically correct circumcision.
Then the Holy Ghost prohibited Paul from preaching in Asia and Bithynia. So he went to Macedonia instead - since he had a dream about a man from Macedonia who said, "Come and help us." And at the end of the episode, Paul shaves his head because he had taken a vow. Was this the Nazarite vow as described in Numbers 6?
