    • 3:8

      Jannes and Jambres: These two men from the time of Moses are not named in the Hebrew Scriptures, but under inspiration, Paul includes their names. (2Ti 3:16) They were likely prominent men in the ancient Egyptian court of Pharaoh, and they may have taken the lead among the magic-practicing priests who opposed Moses. (Ex 7:11, 22; 8:7, 18, 19; 9:11) They are mentioned in traditional Jewish writings, some of which apparently date from the first century B.C.E. A few non-Jewish writers from the first and second centuries C.E. also mention one or both of these men by name. Paul here refers to them in order to reassure Timothy that the false teachers in Ephesus will ultimately fail.
