4Where they appear
4Titus reaches Paul in Macedonia
When Paul came into Macedonia he had no rest, with conflicts outside and fears within. God comforted him by the coming of Titus, who told him of the Corinthians’ longing, mourning and zeal for Paul.
Titus goes to Corinth
Paul wrote that God had given Titus the same earnest care for the Corinthians: Titus accepted Paul’s appeal and, being very earnest himself, went to them of his own accord. With him Paul sent a brother whose praise in the Good News was known throughout the assemblies.
Titus goes up to Jerusalem
After fourteen years Paul went up again to Jerusalem by revelation with Barnabas, taking Titus with him, and laid out the Good News he preached among the Gentiles, privately before those who were respected. Titus, a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
Titus left in Crete
Paul wrote to Titus that he had left him in Crete to set in order what was lacking and to appoint elders in every city, as Paul had directed him.
