John Calvin Commentary Titus 3:13

"Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them." — Titus 3:13 (ASV)

Zenas a lawyer. It is uncertain whether “Zenas” was a Doctor of the Civil Law or of the Law of Moses. However, since we may learn from Paul’s words that he was a poor man and needed the help of others, it is probable that he belonged to the same rank as Apollo, that is, an expounder of the Law of God among the Jews. It more frequently happens that such persons are in need of life’s necessities than those who handle cases in civil courts. I have said that Zenas’s poverty may be inferred from the words of Paul, because the expression, conduct him, means here to supply him with the means of accomplishing his journey, as is evident from what follows.
