Trophimus (, Tróphimos) or Trophimus the Ephesian (, Tróphimos ho Ephésios) was a Christian who accompanied Paul during a part of his third journey. He was with Paul in , and the , supposing that the had brought him into the , raised a tumult which resulted in Paul's imprisonment. (See Herod's Temple). In writing to , the apostle comments that he left Trophimus in due to illness. This must refer to some event not noticed in the Acts.

His feast is kept on 29 December.Roman Martyrology


Background
Trophimus and companion are called "Asianoi"(). He was from . "Apostle Trophimus of the Seventy", OCA


Companion to Paul
Trophimus was one of eight friends (), who accompanied Paul at the close of his third missionary journey and traveled with him from , through Macedonia, into Asia, and onward by sea until Jerusalem was reached. Trophimus completed the journey with Paul, for, in the passages , he is mentioned as being with Paul in Jerusalem immediately on the close of this journey.


Cause of Apostle Paul's Arrest
He was the cause of Paul being assaulted in the courts of the temple by the mob, and then of his being arrested and imprisoned by the Romans. The occasion of this outrage was that Paul had "brought Greeks also into the temple, and....defiled this holy place" ().


Left at Miletus
Trophimus is also mentioned in : "Trophimus I left at Miletus sick." This shows that he was again — several years after the date indicated in the previous passages — traveling with Paul on one of the missionary journeys which the apostle undertook after being liberated from his first imprisonment in .


Unnamed brother
It has been conjectured that Trophimus is to be identified with the person mentioned in 2 Corinthians 8:16-24. There, Paul speaks in the highest terms of one of his companions whom he sent with but does not provide his name. Titus and this disciple were evidently, those to whose care Paul entrusted the carrying of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians. The apostle says of this unnamed brother, not only that his praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches, but also that he was chosen by the churches to travel with him.
