But Neither Titus
Galatians 2:3
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:


1. This incident is introduced by way of evidence, not by way of apology.

2. The circumcision of Titus is inconsistent with individual expressions in the passage.

3. For such a concession, both the time and the person were most inopportune. St. Paul is here indirectly meeting a charge brought against him on the ground of his circumcision of Timothy.

I. Not even Titus, who as my fellow-labourer would be constantly brought in contact with the Jews, and therefore might well have adopted a conciliatory attitude.

II. Not even Titus, although the pressure exerted in his case was great.

III. Why? because he was a Greek; Timothy was a Jew.

(Bishop Lightfoot.)
