SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:11
persecuciones, aflicciones, las cuales me fueron hechas en Antioquía, en Iconio, en Listra; persecuciones que he sufrido; y de todas me ha librado el Seor.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:11
Verse 11. Persecutions-which came unto me at Antioch] The Antioch mentioned here was Antioch in Pisidia, to which place Paul and Barnabas came in their first apostolic progress, and where Paul delivered that memorable discourse which is preserved in the 13th chapter of Acts, Acts xiii. 16-43. In this city, it is said, the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts; but they shook of the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium, Acts xiii. 50, 51. Here there was an assault made both of the Gentiles and also of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them despitefully, and to stone them, and they fled unto Lystra and Derbe; and there came thither certain Jews, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. The historian informs us that his life was miraculously restored, and that he departed thence, and came to Derbe, and afterwards returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, where they had lately been so grievously persecuted. See Acts xiv. 5, 6, 19-21. These are the persecutions, &c., to which the apostle alludes; and we find that he mentions them here precisely in the same order in which, according to the relation of St. Luke, they occurred. Now it is said here that Timothy fully knew all these things; and we may naturally suppose they could not be unknown to him, when it is evident he was either a native of, or resided in, those parts; for when the apostle, sometime after the above, visited Derbe and Lystra, behold, a certain disciple was there named Timotheus, well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium; Acts xvi. 1, 2. As these things happened in his own neighbourhood, Timothy must have known them; for a person who had such a religious education as he had could not be unacquainted with these persecutions, especially as we may believe that his mother and grandmother had been converts to Christianity at that time. See several useful remarks in Dr. Paley's Horae Paulinae, on these circumstances, page 312.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch , etc.] In Pisidia; where the Jews that contradicted and blasphemed his doctrine, and envied his success, stirred up the chief of the city, both men and women, against him, and Barnabas; who persecuted them and expelled them out, of their coasts, ( Acts 13:45,50) and also at Iconium; where both Jews and Gentiles made an assault upon them, to use them ill, and stone them, ( Acts 14:5) and likewise at Lystra; where the apostle was stoned, and drawn out of the city, and left for dead, ( Acts 14:19). And these instances are the rather mentioned because they were done in those parts, where Timothy had lived, ( Acts 16:1) and so knew the truth of these things, not only from the apostle's mouth, but from the testimonies of others; and perhaps he might have been a witness to some of them himself; what persecutions I endured : not only in the above places, but elsewhere; see a detail of them in ( 2 Corinthians 11:23-28), but out of them all the Lord delivered me ; (see 2 Corinthians 1:10) ( 2 Timothy 4:17,18), this he says to the glory of the grace and power of God, to whom he ascribes all his deliverances; and for the encouragement of Timothy, and other saints, under sufferings, who may hope and believe that the Lord will deliver them in his own time and way, ( Psalm 34:19).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-13 - The more fully we know the doctrine of Christ, as taught by the apostles, the more closely we shall cleave to it. When we know the afflictions of believers only in part, they tempt us to decline the cause for which they suffer. A form of godliness, a profession of Christian faith without a godly life, often is allowed to pass, whil open profession of the truth as it is in Jesus, and resolute attentio to the duties of godliness, stir up the scorn and enmity of the world As good men, by the grace of God, grow better, so bad men, through the craft of Satan, and the power of their own corruptions, grow worse. The way of sin is down-hill; such go on from bad to worse, deceiving an being deceived. Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as the will find at last, to their cost. The history of the outward church awfully shows that the apostle spake this as he was moved by the Holy Ghost.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
11. Persecutions, afflictions (diwgmoiv, paqhmasin). Diwgmov persecution, only here in Pastorals. Occasionally in Paul. Paqhma, only here in Pastorals. Often in Paul, usually in the sense of sufferings, but twice of sinful passions, Rom. vii. 5; Galatians. v. 24.
Antioch, Iconium, Lystra. See Acts xiii. 50; xiv. 2 ff.; xiv. 19. 'these cities may have been selected as illustrations because Timothy was at home in that region. See Acts xvi. 1, 2. Antioch is mentioned by Paul, Galatians. ii. 11. Iconium and Lystra nowhere in his letters.
Delivered (erusato) Often in Paul. Originally, to draw to one's self; to draw out from peril. Paul, in Rom. xi. 26, applies the prophecy of Isaiah. lxix. 20 to Christ, who is called a oJ rJuomenov the deliverer, LXX.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
3:11 {What things befell me} (hoia moi egeneto). Qualitative relative (hoia) referring to actual experiences of Paul (egeneto, second aorist middle indicative of ginomai) more fully described in #2Co 11:30-33. The Acts of the Apostles tell of his experiences in Antioch in Pisidia (#Ac 13:14,45,50), in Iconium (#Ac 14:1-5), in Lystra (#Ac 14:6-19). See also #Ga 2:11. {What persecutions I endured} (hoious diwgmous hupenegka). Qualitative relative again with diwgmous. The verb is first aorist active indicative of hupoferw, old verb, to bear under as in #1Co 10:13. {Delivered me} (me erusato). First aorist middle of ruomai, old verb, with ek here as in #1Th 1:10. Used again of the Lord Jesus in #4:18.
