The island of Crete where Titus was left by Paul to lead the church was inhabited by natives of the island and Jews who did not know the truth of Jesus Christ (Titus 1:12-14). Paul felt it to be his responsibility to follow through with Titus to instruct and encourage him in developing leaders within the church at Crete.
Ang isla ng Creta kung saan iniwan ni Pablo si Tito upang pangunahan ang iglesya doon ay pinaninirahan ng mga katutubong Cretan at ng mga Hudyo na hindi nakaaalam ng katotohanan tungkol kay Hesu Kristo (Tito 1:12-14).
