A fourth person who was a great help to Paul was Titus. Interestingly, he is not mentioned in Acts. We learn of him from other epistles Paul wrote. Paul refers to him as “my true son in our common faith,” Titus 1:4, and “Titus my brother,” 2 Corinthians 2:13. As Paul addresses him as ‘his true son’, Titus 1:4, it’s highly possible that Paul actually converted him to Christianity, Philemon 10.
Although Titus seems to be very active within the Lord’s church, and although he isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Book of Acts, we do know that he was one of Paul’s travelling companions, 2 Corinthians 7:14 / 2 Corinthians 8:23 / Galatians 2:3-5.
He accompanied Paul to Ephesus, Corinth and Rome, 2 Corinthians 7:5-15 / 2 Corinthians 12:18 / 2 Timothy 4:10. He was with those who went up to Jerusalem to discuss circumcision as a requirement to becoming a Christian, Galatians 2:3. Being a Gentile, no one argued he should be circumcised.
We find him at Ephesus, Acts 19, where he was sent to Corinth to commence a collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem, 2 Corinthians 8:16, and also to determine the effect Paul’s first epistle had on the Corinthians, 2 Corinthians 8:16-24.
He finally meets up with Paul in Macedonia, 2 Corinthians 2:13. Titus brought a favourable report. Paul instructs him to proceed further in getting the contribution for Jerusalem ready, 2 Corinthians 8:6. He also becomes the bearer of the second letter to the Corinthians.
Later on, after the first imprisonment of Paul, he writes to him with a charge, “for this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you,” Titus 1:5.
He also reminds Titus that he is to stop the mouth of false teachers, “whose mouth must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain,” Titus 1:5 / Titus 1:11. After this, we lose sight of Titus. However, there is no record of his death.
