AD 17–80
Saint Timothy, AD 17–80
January 26
Saint Timothy traveled with Saint Paul, helping spread Christianity through Asia Minor and Greece. His story is told in the Book of Acts. His mother and grandmother probably were Christians as well, since Paul says they were pious and faithful. Timothy may have first heard about Jesus from them. Paul says that Timothy knew the Bible very well. He became a bishop in a city in Turkey and was stoned to death when he tried to stop some people from worshipping an idol. Saint Paul wrote two letters to Saint Timothy, which are in the New Testament.
