Titus was a holy-person (Christian) of the Greek Gentile background
who traveled with Paul and delivered Paul’s
letters for him from time to time. See II Corinthians 2:13, 7:6, 13 and
14, 8:6, 16 and 23, 12:18; Galatians 2:1 and 3; II Timothy 4:10.
This letter (epistle) of Titus was written by Paul, the apostle, to
Titus. He wrote this letter around the end of 67 A.D. some years after
his release from prison in Rome recorded in Acts 28. Paul had just
written the letter of First Timothy to Timothy and was now writing to
Titus whom he left in Crete at that time to carry-out Paul’s
instructions (see Titus 1:5). Shortly after this, Paul wrote his final
letter of Second Timothy to Timothy.
