Honourable, was with [[Apostle Paul |Paul]] and [[Barnabas ]] at [[Antioch]], and accompanied them to the council at [[Jerusalem ]] (Gal. [[Galatians 2]]:1-3; [[Acts 15:2]]), although his name nowhere occurs in the [[Acts of the Apostles]]. He appears to have been a [[Gentile]], and to have been chiefly engaged in ministering to Gentiles; for Paul sternly refused to have him circumcised, inasmuch as in his case the cause of gospel liberty was at stake. We find him, at a later period, with Paul and [[Apostle Timothy|Timothy ]] at [[Ephesus]], whence he was sent by Paul to [[Corinth ]] for the purpose of getting the contributions of the [[church ]] there in behalf of the poor saints at Jerusalem sent forward ([[2 Cor. Corinthians 8:6]]; [[2 Corinthians 12:18|12:18]]). He rejoined the apostle when he was in [[Macedonia]], and cheered him with the tidings he brought from Corinth ([[2 Corinthians 7|7]]:6-15). After this his name is not mentioned till after Paul's first imprisonment, when we find him engaged in the organization of the church in Crete, where the apostle had left him for this purpose ([[Titus 1:5]]). The last notice of him is in [[2 Tim. Timothy 4:10]], where we find him with Paul at [[Rome ]] during his second imprisonment. From Rome he was sent into [[Dalmatia]], no doubt on some important missionary errand. We have no record of his death. He is not mentioned in the Acts.
