St. Apostle Timothy was a disciple of St. Apostle Paul.
He was converted to Christianity by him during his first missionary journey, and on his second journey, the great apostle took him as his companion and disciple. St. Apostle Paul entrusted him with important assignments.
The information that Timothy brought to his teacher from Thessaloniki in Corinth became the occasion for the writing of the First Epistle to the Christians in Thessaloniki. St. Apostle Timothy was the first bishop in the city of Ephesus.
