From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO TITUS. INTRODUCTION I. THE HISTORY OF TITUS. OF Titus nothing more is certainly known than what we find in the epistles of Paul. It is somewhat remarkable that there is no mention of him in the Acts of the Apostles; nor does his name occur in the New Testament anywhere except in the writings of the apostle Paul. From his incidental allusions to him, we learn the following particulars respecting him. (1.) He was by birth a Gentile.
