Tito 3:13

13 Ajuda com empenho a Zenas, doutor da lei, e a Apolo, para que nada lhes falte na sua viagem.

Tito 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 3:13

Bring Zenas the lawyer
Whether he was brought up to the civil law, either among the Greeks or Romans, is not certain; it may be he was a Jewish lawyer, or scribe, an interpreter of Moses's law among the Jews; for with them a lawyer and a scribe were one and the same, as appears from ( Matthew 22:35 ) compared with ( Mark 12:28 ) and the Syriac version here calls him "a scribe", and the Ethiopic version "a scribe of the city"; which looks as if it was a civil office he bore; but however, be he what he will, he seems to have been now a preacher of the Gospel, being joined with Apollos, who certainly was one: he is said to have been one of the seventy disciples of Christ, and afterwards bishop of Diospolis; (See Gill on Luke 10:1); his name is the contraction of Zenodorus: him the apostle would have Titus bring,

and Apollos, on their journey diligently;
who was a Jew born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures; who had preached at Corinth, but was now at Crete; and whom the apostle, with Zenas, would have provided with everything necessary for their journey:

that nothing be wanting unto them;
which might be proper for them in their travels, to make them comfortable, and their journey pleasant and easy.

Tito 3:13 In-Context

11 sabendo que esse tal está pervertido, e vive pecando, e já por si mesmo está condenado.
12 Quando te enviar Ártemas, ou Tíquico, apressa-te a vir ter comigo a Nicópolis; porque tenho resolvido invernar ali.
13 Ajuda com empenho a Zenas, doutor da lei, e a Apolo, para que nada lhes falte na sua viagem.
14 Que os nossos também aprendam a aplicar-se �s boas obras, para suprir as coisas necessárias, a fim de que não sejam infrutuosos.
15 Saúdam-te todos os que estão comigo. Saúda aqueles que nos amam na fé. A graça seja com todos vós.
