how much time passed before Paul finally connected with Titus?
The context does not give an exact duration, only that it was "a fair amount of time" after missing Titus at Troas. Paul had gone to Philippi, been sick in bed, and moved on before finally connecting with Titus, who came from Corinth.
Les explains that Paul had missed Titus at Troas, and while the exact length of time is not stated, it must have been a fair amount. Paul had been up at Philippi, had been sick in bed, and had moved on down before he finally came in contact with Titus. Titus was coming from Corinth, where he had been working among the Corinthian believers while Paul was at Ephesus. When they connected, it comforted Paul, and he was also comforted by Titus's report of the Corinthians' earnest desire and mourning toward him.
