2 | Aquila and Priscilla? | Acts 18:2 | Makarios | 7077 | ||
Aquila and Priscilla, the names of a married couple first mentioned by Paul in 1 Cor 16:19 and by Luke in Acts 18:2.. Only in these verses do their names appear in this order. In later references, the order is always "Priscilla and Aquila' (Acts 18:18,26, Romans 16:3, 2 Tim 4:19). A natural conclusion from this is that Priscilla was a more active worker in the Christian church than her husband. Aquila was a Jew of Eastern origin- 'a man of Pontus by race' (18:2). Claudius drove them from Rome, Italy, because of the fact that they were Jews. They welcomed Paul into their home, listened to Paul (18:4), and became 'fellow workers in Christ Jesus' (Romans 16:3). Aquila and Priscilla also accompanied Paul to Ephesus, and at their house Christians assembled for worship (1 Cor. 16:19). Also, they were instrumental in sharing the 'secret power' of ministering the gospel of grace (Acts 18:26). This devoted pair returned to Ephesus (2 Tim 4:19) and their fellowship with Timothy would aid to strengthening him 'in the grace that is in Christ Jesus' (2 Tim 2:1). | ||||||
