Trophimus

Trophimus was a Gentile companion of the Apostle Paul. He is mentioned in the New Testament as traveling with Paul from Greece to Jerusalem. His presence with Paul in the Temple of Jerusalem, as a Gentile believer of the Christian message, sparked a riot and Paul’s arrest. At the end of Paul’s third missionary journey, Trophimus was too ill to travel, so Paul left him in Miletus as he traveled on to Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost.
