"These also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds..."
Text: 2 Timothy 3:8
JEWISH TRADITIONS
The Apostle Paul was a well-read man. He was trained under the famous scholar Gamaliel who taught at Jerusalem (Acts 22:3). Paul would have read extensively about the history of Israel. In the following text he cited from extra-biblical sources. Israel had a rich source of traditional knowledge that was not recorded in the Scriptures. (These sources are often called “extra-Biblical.”)
“Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses,
so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
disapproved concerning the faith.”
2 Timothy 3:8
