Apostle Titus




He appears to have been a Gentile — for Paul sternly refused to have him Circumcised , perhaps because Paul possibly believed his gospel freed believers from the requirements of the Mosaic Law — and to have been chiefly engaged in ministering to Gentiles.

At a later period, Paul's Epistles place him with Paul and Timothy at Ephesus , whence he was sent by Paul to Corinth for the purpose of getting the contributions of the church there in behalf of the poor Christians at Jerusalem sent forward ( 2 Corinthians 8:6; 12:18).

He rejoined the apostle when he was in , where the apostle had left him for this purpose (Paul's '' Titus '' 1:5).

The last notice of him is in , no doubt on some important missionary errand. The New Testament does not record his death.

According to church tradition, Paul ordained Titus Bishop of Gortyn in Crete. He died in AD 107 at about 95 years of age.
