OT.filter - rwp Eunice:

rwp@2Timothy:1:5 @{Having been reminded} (\hupomnsin labn\). "Having received (second aorist active participle of \lamban\) a reminder" (old word from \hupomimnsk\, to remind, in N.T. only here and strkjv@1Peter:1:13|). For the idiom see strkjv@Romans:7:8,11|. A reminder by another while \anamnsis\ remembrance (1Corinthians:11:24f.|) is rather a recalling by oneself (Vincent). {Of the unfeigned faith} (\ts anupokritou pistes\). Late compound for which see strkjv@2Corinthians:6:6; strkjv@Romans:12:9|. {Dwelt} (\eniksen\). First aorist active indicative of \enoike\, old verb, in N.T. only in Paul (Romans:8:11; strkjv@Colossians:3:16|). {First} (\prton\). Adverb, not adjective (\prt\). {In thy grandmother Lois} (\en ti mammi Lidi\). Old word, originally the infantile word for \mtr\ (mother), then extended by writers to grandmother as here. Common for grandmother in the papyri. Lois is the mother of Eunice, Timothy's mother, since Timothy's father was a Greek (Acts:16:1|). Probably both grandmother and mother became Christians. {I am persuaded} (\pepeismai\). Perfect passive indicative of \peith\, "I stand persuaded." In the Pastorals only here and verse 12|, common in Paul's other writings (Romans:8:38|, etc.).

rwp@Acts:14:20 @{Stood round about him} (\kuklsantn auton\). Genitive absolute with first aorist active participle of \kuklo\, old verb from \kuklos\ (circle, cycle) to make a circle round, to encircle. The would-be murderers left and a group of disciples gathered round to see if Paul was dead or alive and, if dead, to bury him. In that group Timothy may very well have been along with Eunice and Barnabas. Timothy, a lad of about fifteen, would not soon forget that solemn scene (2Timothy:3:11|). But Paul suddenly (apparently a miraculous recovery) rose up (\anastas\) and entered the city to the surprise and joy of the disciples who were willing to brave persecution with Paul. {With Barnabas} (\sun ti Barnabi\). With the assistance of Barnabas. It was plainly unwise to continue in Lystra so that they set out on the next day (\ti epaurion\, ten times in Acts), shaken and bruised as Paul was. Derbe was some forty miles distant, near the pass to the Cilician Gates.
