References to Persons in the Second Epistle to Timothy 4,9-15

Abstracts

EN

The article comprises theological deliberations on the persons referredto by name in 2 Timothy 4:9-15. These persons can be divided into twogroups. The first group consists of those who remained with the ApostlePaul, had a positive attitude towards him, or completed missions appointedby Paul during his imprisonment. They are as follows: Crescens (?), Titus,Luke, Mark, Tychicus and Carpus. The second group comprises his closestcollaborators who, for unknown reasons, abandoned Paul, or became (orhad been from the first meeting) his fierce opponents. Demas and Alexanderbelong to this group.If we assume that the Second Epistle to Timothy was written by Paul,each of those individuals referred to in the analysed passage occupied, tosome extent, the mind of the imprisoned Apostle. If we assume that 2 Timothy is a pseudepigraph, we obtain a list of people who, according to theauthor of the text, had clear influence on the Apostle of the Nations duringhis final stage of life. In the times of the early Church, all name-basedreferences to specific people (who were often well regarded] in Christiancommunities), might have constituted obscure references to current situationsin the respective communities of the followers of Jesus Christ.
