Phygelus

Phygelus is mentioned only once in the Bible, in2 Timothy 1:15, where Paul writes that all those in Asia had turned away from him, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. This suggests that Phygelus was a believer who had been part of Paul's ministry in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) but had deserted him at some point. Paul does not provide any further details about Phygelus' background, the specific reason for his desertion, or his subsequent actions. The mention of Phygelus serves as a reminder that even those who have been close companions in ministry can fall away from the faith or abandon their fellow believers in times of difficulty.
