{Into the house of Lydia} (pros t(886e) Ludian). No word in
the Greek for "house," but it means the house of Lydia. Note "the
brethren" here, not merely Luke and Timothy, but other brethren
now converted besides those in the house of the jailor. The four
missionaries were guests of Lydia (verse  15 ) and probably the
church now met in her home. {They departed} (ex(886c)than). Paul
and Silas, but not Luke and Timothy. Note "they" here, not "we."
Note also the -an ending instead of -on as above. The
movements of Timothy are not perfectly clear till he reappears at
Beroea ( 17:15 ). It seems unlikely that he came to Thessalonica
with Paul and Silas since only Paul and Silas obtained security
there ( 17:9 ) and were sent on to Beroea ( 17:10 ). Probably
Timothy was sent to Thessalonica from Philippi with gifts of
which Paul spoke later ( Php 4:15f. ). Then he followed Paul and
Silas to Beroea.
