²⁰ Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.

⁴ And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.

²² And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

²⁹ For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.

¹⁵ And going from there by sea, we came on the day after opposite Chios, and touching at Samos on the day after that, we came on the third day to Miletus.

²³ Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.

¹⁷ And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the rulers of the church.

²⁶ Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:

²⁷ For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.
