Follow Trophimus of Ephesus and the Asian delegation as they accompany Paul from Ephesus and Troas, sailing past Miletus to deliver the Gentile churches’ relief offering to the Jerusalem church.
Follow the full biblical biography of Trophimus of Ephesus.
Trophimus is selected alongside Tychicus by the Ephesian church as an apostolic delegate representing the believers of Asia.
The delegation gathers at Troas in Mysia, waiting for Paul and celebrating the Lord’s Supper before boarding their Mediterranean vessel.
Anchoring at Miletus south of Ephesus, the delegation witnesses Paul’s emotional farewell charge to the Ephesian elders.
Reaching Jerusalem, Trophimus and the delegates present the relief offering; Jewish opponents mistakenly accuse Paul of bringing Trophimus into the inner temple court.
