About Acts 16:1-40 Easy> Timothy’s father was not a Jew. So nobody had circumcised Timothy when he was a baby. Paul wanted Timothy to go with him to help him with his work. Paul wanted to tell Jews, not only Gentiles, the good news about Jesus. These Jews knew Timothy. They knew that his father was not a Jew. This is why Paul circumcised Timothy.

Not many Jews were living in Philippi, so they did not have a synagogue. Instead, they met at the side of the river to pray together. The guard thought that the people in the prison had run away. He knew that this would be a very bad thing for him. If this had happened, the leader of the soldiers would kill him. So he decided to kill himself. Luke did not go with Paul and Silas when they left Philippi.
