Due to the needs of other churches, requiring his presence elsewhere, he ordained his disciple Titus as bishop of that island, [11] and left him to finish the work he had started. Chrysostom says that this is an indication of the esteem Paul held for Titus. [5] Paul summoned Titus from Crete to join him at Nicopolis in Epirus. [12] Later, Titus ...
Other scholars who do believe that Paul wrote Titus date its composition from the circumstance that it was written after Paul's visit to Crete (Titus 1:5). [16] This visit could not be the one referred to in the Acts of the Apostles 27:7, [ 17 ] when Paul was on his voyage to Rome as a prisoner, and where he continued a prisoner for two years.
It is customary for Paul to start his mission by visiting the local synagogue (verse 14). Paul's sermon in a synagogue of Antioch in Pisidia (13:16—41) serves as the centerpiece of a long and tightly constructed travel-and-mission account, moving into new places (13:13-14, 51; 14:6-7), then successively going back retracing each stage of the ...
"Tychicus": from the province of Asia, traveled with Paul on his third missionary journey (Acts 20:4; Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7; 1 Timothy 4:12), but nothing is known about Artemas.

Zenas the Lawyer (Ancient Greek: ΖηναΎ¶ς) was a first-century Christian mentioned in Paul the Apostle's Epistle to Titus in the New Testament. In Titus 3:13, Paul writes: "Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them" . His name is a shortened form of "Zenodoros", meaning "gift of Zeus".

Paul and his companions, Silas and Timothy, had plans to journey to the southwest portion of Asia Minor to preach the gospel but during the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him to go to Macedonia to help them. After seeing the vision, Paul and his companions left for Macedonia to preach the gospel to them. [134]
