Matthew Poole and continuators on Titus 1:5

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete , that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting , and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee .

In Candia, (as it is now called) see the Argument to this Epistle.

Set to rights things which I left undone, being hastened away to other places.

In this Island we are told, there were an Hundred Cities, in how many of them the Gospel had taken place, we are not told. Paul left Titus in this place, for this end, to regulate the Churches, and constitute Officers for the Holy Ministry, to execute the office of an Evangelist; doing what the Apostle should have done there, could he have stayed.
