Titus 1:5

We read about Paul in Crete near the end of the book of Acts. He is being sent to Rome as a prisoner, and one of the places they go to on the way there is Crete. Here in the letter of Paul to Titus, we read that Paul left Titus in Crete. Titus' job was to complete the work to be finished and to appoint elders in every town according to Paul's instructions. Paul was unable to do this task, but he put Titus in charge. This tells us that Paul thought well of Titus; he was a man whom Paul thought was good enough for the task at hand. It seems a bit weird since Paul was in chains at the time, but I guess somehow Titus still tagged along with Paul. Either way, work was needed to be done, and Paul had Titus stay behind to get it done.
