2 Timothy / Question
Question source
2 Timothy
Paul asks Timothy to bring the cloak left at Troas and “the books,” especially the parchments, in 2 Timothy 4:13. The request appears in a section where Paul urges Timothy to come to him soon in 2 Timothy 4:9. The details reflect Paul’s practical needs while imprisoned.
9Be diligent to come to me soon,
10for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministering.
12But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
