Collection for the Judean Saints

16 But thanks be to God who1 puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.  
17 For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.
18 And we have sent with him athe brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,  
19 and not only that, but who was also achosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us bto the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,  
20 avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us—
21 aproviding honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.  
22 And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you.
23 If anyone inquires about aTitus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you. Or if our brethren are inquired about, they are bmessengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

2 Corinthians 8:18

II Corinthians 8:18 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 II Corinthians 8:19 says that he "was chosen of the churches to travel with us in this grace", and as Acts 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.
