Commentary on the Gospel of
Timothy was a co-author of many of the greatest Pauline letters. Titus was the first Christian of pagan birth to become a missionary. These two, though they did not know Jesus in the flesh and had pagan blood in their veins, spent their lives preaching the gospel. They must have listened avidly to stories and memories that others had of Jesus. They took to heart his challenge to “hear the word, take it to heart and produce.”
