2 Timothy 4:17 in context
15Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

Here, I. He gives Timothy an account of his own present circumstances. 1. He had lately been called to appear before the emperor, upon his appeal to Caesar; and then no man stood with him (Ti2 4:16), to plead his cause, to bear testimony for him, or so much as to keep him in countenance, but all men forsook him.
