Man living at the time of the New Testament
Apollos
A Jew from Alexandria, “an eloquent man,” “mighty in the Scriptures,” who came to Ephesus, taught about Jesus accurately though he knew only John’s baptism, and was taught more fully by Priscilla and Aquila (Acts 18:24–26). He went on to Achaia, where he powerfully showed from Scripture that Jesus is the Christ (Acts 18:27–28). In Corinth some set him against Paul, and Paul answered, “I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:5–9).
