The Letter of Paul to Titus - Introduction
Titus, like Timothy, was a trusted friend and companion of Paul. Born of Gentile parents (Gal. 2.3 ), he accompanied Paul to the Apostolic Council in Jerusalem (Gal. 2.1; see also Acts 15 ), and played a significant role in collecting money from the Corinthians (2 Cor. 8.6, 16–23 ) for the poor in Jerusalem (see Gal. 2.10 ). This document is the earliest evidence we have for the presence of the Christian faith on the island of Crete. For more information on this letter, see the Introduction to 1 Timothy.
