2 Corinthians 2:13

2 Corinthians 2:13. I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother as if this seemed to bode ill news. He had sent him to Corinth (2 Corinthians 12:18) with the double purpose of hastening the collection and of bringing him accounts of the effect of his former letter. Before parting they had probably arranged their respective routes, so as to give reasonable hope of their meeting at Troas, and failing this in Macedonia; but taking my leave of them of the converts he found there, and probably others preparing for baptism.

I went forth into Macedonia and there meeting with Titus (perhaps at Philippi itself), he got from him such tidings as caused him to break forth into the transport expressed in the next verse.
