Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Timothy 4:6

_ _ Greek, “For I am already being offered”; literally, as a libation; appropriate to the shedding of his blood. Every sacrifice began with an initiatory libation on the victim’s head (compare Note, see on Philippians 2:17). A motive to stimulate Timothy to faithfulness — the departure and final blessedness of Paul; it is the end that crowns the work [Bengel]. As the time of his departure was indicated to Peter, so to Paul (2 Peter 1:14).

_ _ my departure — literally, “loosing anchor” (see on Philippians 1:23). Dissolution.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Timothy 4:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Timothy 4:6

The time of my departure is at hand — So undoubtedly God had shown him. I am ready to be offered up — Literally, to be poured out, as the wine and oil were on the ancient sacrifices.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
