Woman living at the time of the New Testament
Priscilla
A Jewish believer who, with her husband Aquila, had come to Corinth from Rome when Claudius ordered the Jews to leave. Paul lived and worked with them there, for they were tentmakers like him (Acts 18:1–3). She and Aquila went with him to Ephesus, where they took Apollos aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately (Acts 18:18–26). Paul calls her Prisca and greets them as “my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own necks for my life” (Romans 16:3–4). A church met in their house (1 Corinthians 16:19).
