2 Timothy 4:21
Come before winter -
1.Because the apostle' s time was short and uncertain.
2.Because sailing in those seas was very dangerous in winter. Whether Timothy saw the apostle before he was martyred is not known.
Eubulus - This person is nowhere else mentioned in the New Testament.
Pudens - Of this person we have traditions and legends, but nothing certain. The Catholics make him bishop of Rome.
Linus - He also is made, by the same persons, bishop of Rome; but there is no sufficient ground for these pretensions.
Claudia - Supposed to be the wife of Pudens. Some think she was a British lady, converted by St. Paul; and that she was the first that brought the Gospel to Britain.
All the brethren - All the Christians, of whom there were many at Rome; though of Paul' s companions in travel, only Luke remained there.
