Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."
Review verses 1-11 and then learn this new verse.
My Life Application Bible has this to say about today`s verse....
Paul was quoting a line from a poem by Epimenides, a poet and philosopher who had live in Crete 600 years earlier. Some Cretans had a bad reputation and were known for lying. Paul used this familiar phrase to make the point that Titus`s ministry and leadership were very much needed.
Here this quote is directed at the false teachers.
