Titus in Easton's Bible Dictionary
honourable, was with Paul and Barnabas at Antioch, and
accompanied them to the council at Jerusalem (Gal.
2:1-3; Acts
15:2), although his name nowhere occurs in the Acts
of the
Apostles. He appears to have been a Gentile, and to
have been
chiefly engaged in ministering to Gentiles; for Paul
sternly
refused to have him circumcised, inasmuch as in his
case the
cause of gospel liberty was at stake. We find him,
at a later
period, 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 saints at
Jerusalem sent
forward (2 Cor. 8:6; 12:18). He rejoined the apostle
when he was
in Macedonia, and cheered him with the tidings he
brought from
Corinth (7:6-15). After this his name is not
mentioned till
after Paul's first imprisonment, when we find him
engaged in the
organization of the church in Crete, where the
apostle had left
him for this purpose (Titus 1:5). The last notice of
him is in 2
Tim. 4:10, where we find him with Paul at Rome
during his second
imprisonment. From Rome he was sent into Dalmatia,
no doubt on
some important missionary errand. We have no record
of his
death. He is not mentioned in the Acts.
