Apollos was a passionate and eloquent speaker who taught about Jesus in the synagogue. However, his understanding of the gospel was limited to what he knew from the baptism of John. Priscilla and Aquila, who were tentmakers and companions of Paul, recognized his zeal and potential but also saw the gaps in his knowledge. Instead of publicly correcting him, they chose a more personal and effective approach by inviting him into their home. There, they shared with him a fuller understanding of the Christian faith, including the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. This story illustrates the value of mentorship and the role of community in nurturing and expanding one's faith. It also emphasizes the importance of humility and openness to learning, as Apollos was willing to receive instruction from Priscilla and Aquila. Their actions demonstrate how believers can support each other in their spiritual journeys, fostering growth and unity within the body of Christ.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
