	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Paul
		John Mark, cousin of Barnabas, dismayed perhaps by the daring projects of the Apostle, abandoned the expedition and returned to Jerusalem, while Paul and Barnabas laboured alone among the rough mountains of Pisidia, which were infested by brigands and crossed by frightful precipices.
		Titus, his companion, was not compelled to be circumcised, despite the loud protests of the Judaizers (Galatians 2:3-4).

	Titus - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The first notice of Titus is in Acts 15:2, where we read that after the conclusion of Paul's 1st missionary journey, when he had returned to Antioch, a discussion arose in the church there, in regard to the question whether it was necessary that Gentile Christians should be circumcised and should keep the Jewish Law.
		After the departure of Titus from Corinth, difficulty had again arisen in the church there, and Titus seems to have been sent by Paul a second time to that city, as the apostle's messenger, carrying a letter from him--referred to in 2 Corinthians 2:3; 7:8.
		Titus was also again entrusted with the work of overseeing the weekly collection in the Corinthian church (2 Corinthians 8:10,24).

		And thus the apostle makes regeneration by the free mercy of God, and justification by his grace, and special adoption, and heirship, with a good hope through grace, the way and means in which God saves his people, who were like others by nature, and brings them to the enjoyment of eternal happiness.
		All the apostles, fellow labourers, and the ministers of the Gospel that were with him; and all the members of the church where he was, sent their Christian salutation to Titus; he being a person greatly esteemed, and whose praise was in all the churches:

		Here he expected to meet with Titus, whom he had sent from Ephesus to Corinth, with news of the effects produced on the church there by the first epistle; but was disappointed (1 Corinthians 16:9; 2 Corinthians 1:8; 2:12, 13).

		Under the influence of the feelings awakened in his mind by the favourable report which Titus brought back from Corinth, this second epistle was written.

		The apostle closes the chapter (as he began it) with a summary direction to Titus upon the whole, in which we have the matter and manner of ministers' teaching, and a special instruction to Titus in reference to himself.
		Titus must give no countenance to these, but avoid and oppose them; for they are unprofitable and vain: this is to be referred to all those foolish questions and genealogies, as well as those strivings about the law.
		Titus, it seems, was not their ordinary fixed bishop or pastor, but an evangelist, otherwise Paul would not have called him so much from his charge.

	The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Titus - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Although Titus did not enjoy that degree of intimacy with the great apostle which bound the hearts of Paul and Timothy together, he also belonged to that inner circle of friends whom Paul valued very highly and whom he entrusted with very important missions in connection with his apostolic ministry.
		Titus was a Greek, a Gentile, by birth, Gal.
		Hereupon follows a suggestion as to the manner by which Titus should attempt to urge the Christians to show obedience and meekness in their daily walk, on the basis of the washing of regeneration.

	Titus 1:1 Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus
		He was then employed by the apostle in preparing the collection for the poor saints in Judea, and became the bearer of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians (2Co 8:16, 17, 23).
		In the unsettled state of things then, Titus' episcopal commission in Crete was to be but temporary, Paul requiring the presence of Titus with himself, whenever Artemas or Tychicus should arrive in Crete and set him free from his duties there.
		In Ro 1:1, there follows, "called to be an apostle," which corresponds to the general designation of the office first, "servant of God," here, followed by the special description, "apostle of Jesus Christ." The full expression of his apostolic office answers, in both Epistles, to the design, and is a comprehensive index to the contents.

	Titus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Titus is a beloved and faithful servant of God and also the apostle's son in the faith; but Paul does not open his heart to him in the same manner-does not communicate to him his anxieties, his complainings-does not pour out his soul to him-as he did to Timothy.
		This task the apostle had committed to the approved fidelity of Titus, furnished with his own authority by word of mouth and here in writing; so that to reject Titus was to reject the apostle and consequently the Lord who had sent him.
		Paul wished that Titus should come to him: but the Cretans needed his services; and the apostle makes the arrival of Artemas or Tychicus (the latter well known by the services he had rendered to Paul) the condition of the departure of Titus from the field in which he was laboring.

		As regards their relation to the outer world, Titus should teach believers to subject themselves to the authorities, and to be gentle towards all men, remembering that God had delivered them from the old heathen vices, in order that they should set others an example of noble and useful lives, 3:1-8.
		From Titus 1: 4 we infer that he was one of the apostles converts, and Gal.
		Evidently he was with the apostle in the early part of his second imprisonment, but soon left him for Dalmatia, either at the behest, or against the desire of Paul.

	The Need For Pastoring Elders
		Titus is to tell the older men, "You have lived a long time on this island; you have been heavily influenced by your culture.
		Titus should request the older women to admonish the younger women to be kind to their husbands, their children, their servants, parents, in-laws, neighbors and strangers.
		Therefore, the apostle urges that "slaves be subject to their masters in everything," i.e., in everything that is morally correct, everything that agrees with sound doctrine.
