Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra,.... Which were cities of Lycaonia, Acts 14:6 after Paul had gone through Syria and Cilicia; in the last of these places, he had been stoned, and yet goes thither again; none of these things moved him from the preaching of the Gospel, and from the care of the churches, such zeal, courage, and intrepidity was he possessed of:
and behold a certain disciple was there: a converted person, a believer in Christ, one that had learned to know and deny himself, and understood the way of salvation by Christ, and was a follower of him; whether the apostle was an instrument of his conversion, when he was before in these parts, is not certain, though probable, since he often calls him his son; nor is it so evident whether he was at Derbe or at Lystra, though the latter seems most likely, since a report was given of him by the brethren there, and at Iconium, when no mention is made of Derbe, in the following verse:
named Timotheus; or Timothy, the same person to whom afterwards the apostle wrote two epistles: it is a name much used among the Greeks, and his father was a Greek; one of this name, who was an historian among the Greeks, is frequently mentioned by Laertius r; and there was another of this name, the son of Conon, an Athenian general s; and another that was a captain or general of Antiochus,
"Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.'' (1 Maccabees 5:6)
"Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.'' (2 Maccabees 10:24)
the name signifies one that honoured God, or was honoured by God; both were true in this disciple of Christ:
the son of a certain woman which was a Jewess, and believed; his mother was a Jewish woman, but a believer in Christ, her name was Eunice, 2 Timothy 1:5
but his father was a Greek; a Gentile, an uncircumcised one, and so he seems to have remained, by his sons not being circumcised.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then came he - That is, Paul in company with Silas. Luke does not give us the history of Barnabas, but confines his narrative to the journey of Paul.
To Derbe and Lystra - See the notes on Acts 14:6.
And behold, a certain disciple named Timotheus - It was to this disciple that Paul afterward addressed the two epistles which bear his name. It is evident that he was a native of one of these places, but whether of Derbe or Lystra it is impossible to determine.
The son of a certain woman ... - Her name was Eunice, 2 Timothy 1:5.
And believed - And was a Christian. It is stated also that her mother was a woman of distinguished Christian piety, 2 Timothy 1:5. It was not lawful for a Jew to marry a woman of another nation, or to give his daughter in marriage to a Gentile, Ezra 9:12. But it is probable that this law was not regarded very strictly by the Jews who lived in the midst of pagan nations. It is evident that Timothy, at this time, was very young; for when Paul besought him to abide at Ephesus, to take charge of the church there 1 Timothy 1:3, he addressed him then as a young man, 1 Timothy 4:12, “Let no man despise thy youth.”
But his father was a Greek - Evidently, a man who had not been circumcised, for had he been Timothy would have been also.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI.
Paul, coming to Derbe and Lystra, meets with Timothy, the son of
a Jewess by a Greek father, whom he circumcises and takes with
him into his work, 1-3.
As they pass through the different cities, they deliver the
apostles' decrees to the Churches; and they are established in
the faith, and daily increase in numbers, 4, 5.
They travel through Phrygia, Galatia, Mysia, and to Troas, 6-8.
Where Paul has a vision, relative to his preaching in
Macedonia, 9, 10.
Leaving Troas, he sails to Samothracia and Neapolis, and comes
to Philippi in Macedonia, 11, 12.
Lydia, a seller of purple, receives the apostles teaching; and
she and her family are baptized, 13-16.
A young woman, with a spirit of divination, dispossessed by St.
Paul, 16-18.
Her masters, finding their gain by her soothsaying gone, make an
attack upon Paul and Silas, drag them before the magistrates,
who command them to be beaten, thrust into the closest prison,
and their feet made fast in the stocks, 19-24.
Paul and Silas singing praises at midnight, the prison doors
are miraculously opened, and all the bonds of the prisoners
loosed, 25, 26.
The keeper being alarmed, supposing that the prisoners were
fled, is about to kill himself, but is prevented by Paul,
27-28.
He inquires the way of salvation, believes, and he and his
whole family are baptized, 29-34.
The next morning the magistrates order the apostles to be
dismissed, 35, 36.
Paul pleads his privilege as a Roman, and accuses the
magistrates of injustice, who, being alarmed, come themselves
to the prison, deliver them, and beg them to depart from the
city, 37-39.
They leave the prison, enter into the house of Lydia, comfort
the brethren, and depart, 40.
NOTES ON CHAP. XVI.
Verse Acts 16:1. A certain disciple — Bishop Pearce would read the latter part of this verse and the beginning of the next thus-A certain disciple named Timotheus, (the son of a certain Jewish woman that believed, but of a father who was a Greek,) who was well reported of by the brethren, c.
This Timothy was the same person to whom St. Paul wrote those two noble epistles which are still extant. His mother's name was Eunice, as we learn from 2 Timothy 1:5. What his father's name was we know not he was either a mere heathen, or, at most, only a proselyte of the gate, who never submitted to circumcision: had he submitted to this rite, he would, no doubt, have circumcised his son; but the son being without it is a proof that the father was so too. Some MSS. state that Timothy's mother was now a widow; but this does not appear to be well founded.
