Carpus was a friend of Paul in Troas, with whom Paul left his cloak, books, and parchments.
Carpus was a friend and host of the apostle Paul in Troas, mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:13 where Paul asks Timothy to bring his cloak and the scrolls—especially the parchments—that he had left with Carpus. This passing reference suggests Carpus was a trusted believer who had cared for Paul's personal belongings, possibly during Paul's ministry in the Troas region (Acts 20:6–12). He represents one of the many unnamed or barely named supporters who sustained Paul's apostolic work.
