📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul is on his second missionary journey, traveling through regions with a mix of Jewish and Gentile populations to share the Gospel. He encounters Timothy, a young believer whose mother was Jewish and father was Greek, meaning Timothy was seen as Jewish by the local Jews but was not circumcised, which could create obstacles for their ministry. Paul chooses to circumcise Timothy as a practical step to avoid offending the Jews in those areas, who might otherwise dismiss their message due to cultural sensitivities.
