Acts 18:2-3 In Corinth Paul met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.”

Aquila and Priscilla (or Prisca in some texts) were one dynamic couple and very close friends and co-workers with the Apostle Paul. But they were also the nucleus of the early fledging Church in Corinth…evangelizing, teaching, encouraging, and opening their home up for fellowship. In four of the six references of them, we notice Priscilla’s name before her husband’s, making it appear that she had more prominence socially or in the tentmaking business they owned. But their greatest gift was their maturity as Believers plus their insightful knowledge of the Gospel Message… making them a powerhouse couple that helped bring many to Salvation.
