Second letter to the Corinthians 8:17

He listened to our appeal and became so eager that he set out to you of his own free will.
[Titus, who was a Greek from Antioch in Syria, had traveled with Paul and Barnabas, see Gal. 2:1–3. He has just arrived from Corinth and met Paul with good news, see 2 Cor. 7:13. He is now on his way back to Corinth and is probably also the one who is bringing this letter. Titus is the one who has primary responsibility for the collection, and two brothers are traveling with him. The first is called "a brother" and the second "our brother." This suggests that the first came from another region, while the second was known to the believers in Macedonia, where Paul was when he wrote this letter. Paul's statement in 2 Cor. 9:4 suggests that neither of these brothers was from Macedonia. The fact that they are not named may be to protect their identity and prevent unnecessary risks of robbery. The letters were read aloud and outsiders heard this, see 1 Cor. 14:23.]
