According to the textbook, Timothy was probably converted to Christianity as a youth when Paul visited his home in Lystra on the first missionary journey with Barnabas

a. True.

b. False.

Answer: TRUE.

Explanation: Timothy was an early Christian evangelist and the first Christian bishop of Ephesus.

Timothy was from the Lycaonian city of Lystra in Asia Minor. In Paul and Barnabas first visit to Lystra, Paul healed a person crippled from birth, leading many of the inhabitants to accept his teaching. Timothy was probably among those that were converted to Christianity as that was the first time Christianity was introduced into Lystra because in Paul's second visit, a few years later with Silas, Timothy was already a respected member of the Christian congregation.
