3:13 ^a Zenas and Apollos were involved in spreading the Good News, and they might have been the couriers of this letter to Titus.

• Zenas was probably an expert in Roman law or a Roman jurist (the same word for lawyer is in Luke 7:30 ^b; 10:25 ^c); his pagan name (“gift of Zeus”) makes it unlikely that he was an expert in Jewish law.

• Apollos is presumably the same man as in Acts 18:24 ^d; 19:1 ^e; 1 Cor 1:12 ^f; 3:4-6 ^g, 22 ^h; 4:6 ⁱ; 16:12 ^j.

• everything they need: See 1 Tim 3:2 ^k; 3 Jn 1:5-8 ^l; cp. Rom 15:24 ^m; 1 Cor 16:6 ⁿ, 11 ^o; 2 Cor 1:16 ^p.
3:14 ^q This final exhortation is connected to the responsibility to take care of Zenas and Apollos (see Rom 12:13 ^r; Eph 4:28 ^s; 1 Thes 4:11 ^t; 1 Tim 5:8 ^u, 16 ^v; 6:18 ^w).

• Our people must involve themselves in the life-giving ministry of the Good News rather than in the unproductive speculations of the false teachers.
