Key Reflection

In Titus 3:14, Paul instructs Titus to send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their mission with haste, ensuring they have all necessary provisions. This verse reflects the early Christian community's practical support for missionaries, highlighting the importance of providing for those who labor in spreading the gospel. The urgency and attention to detail in this task underscore the value placed on these individuals' ministry and the smooth operation of the nascent church.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 14. And let ours. Our friends; that is, those who were Christians. Paul had just directed Titus to aid Zenas and Apollos himself; and he here adds that he wished that others who were Christians would be characterized by good works of all kinds. To maintain good works. Marg., profess honest trades. The Greek will admit of the interpretation in the margin, or will include that; but there is no reason why the direction should be supposed to have any peculiar reference to an honest mode of livelihood, or why it should be confined to that.
