[36] In the account of this excursion, Galatia--now mentioned for the
first time in the Acts,--is mentioned, in the number of the countries,
which, in the course of it, he visited. It stands fourth: the preceding
places being Derbe, Lystra, Iconium and Phrygia. Acts 16:1 to 6. In Acts
18:23, "He ... went over [all] Galatia ... strengthening the disciples."
[37] Acts 16:1 to 3. Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a
certain disciple was there named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman,
which was a Jewess and believed: but his father was a Greek:--Which was
well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.--Him
would Paul have to go forth to him, and took and circumcised him,
because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that
his father was a Greek.

Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.--To whom we
gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of
the Gospel might continue with you.--But of those who seemed to be
somewhat, whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God
accepteth no man's person: for they who seemed to be somewhat in

that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, _as
the gospel_ of the circumcision _was_ unto Peter;--For he that
wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:--and
when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived
the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the
