Trophimus: A foster-child, an Ephesian who accompanied Paul during a part of his
third missionary journey
(Acts 20:4; 21:29) He was with Paul in
Jerusalem, and the Jews, supposing that the apostle had brought him
with him into the temple, raised a tumult which resulted in Paul's
imprisonment.
(See TEMPLE, HEROD'S)
In writing to Timothy, the apostle says, "Trophimus have I left at
Miletum sick"
(2 Timothy 4:20) This must refer to some event not noticed
in the Acts.
