The life of Titus of the Seventy
Titus traveled with Paul on his missionary journeys, helping found and strengthen churches across the Roman world, and Paul in time ordained him bishop of his own home island of Crete. Paul later wrote him a pastoral letter that bears his name, guiding him in the governing of his church. Titus was with Paul in Rome at the end of the apostle's life, and it was Titus who saw to his teacher's burial. Afterward he returned to Crete, where he spent the rest of his long life shepherding the church there and bringing many of its pagans to the faith, said to have worked wonders among them by the grace given him. He died peacefully in old age, having spent his whole life in the company and the service of the Gospel he had once known nothing of.
