The short demand to bring Paul’s coat in 2 Timothy 4:13 has been a part of exegetical discussion for a long time. Especially the intention, the text pragmatics and the meaning of this verse are a matter of academic dispute. The point is: The interpretation of this verse has an important impact on the question of the authentic or pseudepigraphic character of 2 Tim. The following article focusses on an aspect that hasn’t been looked at much so far: the legal business of depositum as a possible historical backdrop. A third person’s (i.e. Timothy’s) mandate to pick up something deposited tells us much about his legitimacy as an authorized representative of the person who made the depositum (i.e. Paul). And possibly we also learn something about 2 Tim: 2 Tim as a letter could function as an authorizing document for the person sent out to pick up the coat – then 2 Tim 4:13 would work as a kind of certificate of authenticity of 2 Tim as an allegedly original Pauline letter.

长期以来，对将保罗的大衣带到提摩太前书2：4中的短暂需求一直是训ege性讨论的一部分。特别是意图，文本语用和这节经文的含义都是学术争论的问题。重点是：这节经文的解释对提姆2的地道或伪造性有重要影响。下面的文章重点介绍了迄今为止尚未被研究的一个方面：作为可能的历史背景的存款银行的合法业务。第三者（即蒂莫西）的任务是拾起沉积物，这充分说明了他作为制造沉积物的人的授权代表的合法性（即保罗）。可能我们也了解了有关2 Tim的一些信息：2 Tim作为一封信可以用作授权文件，供被派去捡衣服的人使用-那么2 Tim 4:13可以作为2 Tim的真实性证明作为据称是Pauline的原始信。
