2Cor 8:17-18, 22 | PNT | STEP | For indeed he accepted the exhortation . Readily accepted the work when Paul suggested it; nay more, of his own accord he went unto you , he desired and chose it.

2 Corinthians 8:17-18

For indeed he accepted the exhortation. Readily accepted the work when Paul suggested it; nay more, of his own accord he went unto you, he desired and chose it. We have sent with him the brother. Two brethren are sent with Titus. These are not named, and we can only conjecture who they were. As 2Co 8:19 says that he "was chosen of the churches to travel with us in this grace", and as Ac 20:4 says that the Macedonian brethren, Sopater, Aristarchus and Secundus did travel with him to Jerusalem, one of these is probably meant. Many have held that Luke was the person, nor is this improbable.

2 Corinthians 8:22

We have sent with them our brother. With Titus and the brother named in 2Co 8:18. The brother referred to here and commended so highly is nowhere named.
