📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, Apollos was a Jewish man from Alexandria who was an eloquent speaker and knew about Jesus but had only a partial understanding based on John's baptism. When Aquila and Priscilla, a married couple who were fellow tentmakers and recent companions of the apostle Paul, heard him teaching in the synagogue in Ephesus, they noticed the inaccuracies in his message. They gently took him aside to provide a more complete explanation of the Gospel, helping him grow in his faith.
