Apollos
An eloquent Jewish Christian teacher from Alexandria who played a significant role in the early church's ministry.
Apollos was a learned man, mighty in the Scriptures, who taught accurately about Jesus despite initially knowing only the baptism of John. After Priscilla and Aquila explained the way of God more adequately, he became a powerful apologist in Achaia. Paul highlights Apollos's role in the Corinthian church, emphasizing that he and Paul were merely fellow laborers in God's field.
