Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Timothy 1:15

"This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes." — 2 Timothy 1:15 (ASV)

Of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Two men who ought to have known better. Paul evidently fixed his eye upon them – more bitter than others, more perverse, more cruel, more willfully guilty in turning aside from him.

This you know, that all those who are in Asia are turned away from me;

What! turned away from Paul? Some people think it is an awful thing because certain people turn away from a minister of Christ. It is not an awful thing at all, except for them. Paul stands fast; even he, the bravest of the brave, and they all turn aside from him. What of that? Does Paul flinch? No, not he. This you know, that all those who are in Asia are turned away from me.
