Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. Bring ... on their journey - enable them to proceed by supplying necessaries for their journey.
Zenas - contracted from Zenodorus. Lawyer, х nomikon (G3544)] - a Jewish scribe,' learned in the Hebrew law, who, when converted, still retained the title.
Apollos - with Zenas, probably the bearers of this letter. In 1 Corinthians 16:12 Apollos is mentioned as purposing to visit Corinth: his now being at Corinth (on the theory of Paul being there when he wrote) accords with this purpose. Crete would be on his way either to Palestine or his native place, Alexandria. Paul and Apollos thus appear in beautiful harmony in that very city where their names had been formerly the watchword of unchristian rivalries. The only difference had been in their respective modes of teaching, Apollos being more ornate and rhetorical (Acts 18:24-28; 1 Corinthians 3:6). It was to avoid this party rivalry that Apollos formerly was unwilling to visit Corinth, though Paul desired him. Hippolytus mentions Zenas as one of the seventy, and afterward Bishop of Diospolis.
