"Welcome to Who’s Who in the Bible. Today, we’ll take an overview of Priscilla (also called Prisca), who—together with her husband Aquila—worked alongside the Apostle Paul in the earliest days of the church."]
"Priscilla is named a handful of times in the New Testament and is consistently mentioned with Aquila. Their partnership in ministry included practical support for Paul and hospitality for local believers (Acts 18; Romans 16; 1 Corinthians 16; 2 Timothy 4)."
[Transition to scenes of Priscilla and Aquila’s partnership with Paul]
"After the imperial order that led Jews to leave Rome, Priscilla and Aquila settled in Corinth, where they met Paul and worked with him as tentmakers (Acts 18:2–3). They later travelled with Paul to Ephesus and remained there for a time (Acts 18:18–19)."
[Transition to scenes of Apollos and private instruction]
"In Ephesus they met Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew only John’s baptism. Priscilla and Aquila ‘took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately’ (Acts 18:24–26). Scripture does not expand on their wider teaching role, but this private correction shows careful, respectful discipleship."
[Transition to scenes of hospitality and support]
"Paul greets them warmly in Romans 16:3–5, calling them his ‘fellow workers in Christ Jesus’ who ‘risked their lives’ for him, and he greets ‘the church that meets at their house.’ A household gathering is also noted in 1 Corinthians 16:19, and they are greeted again in 2 Timothy 4:19—small windows into an ongoing pattern of hospitality and support."
[Transition to Priscilla’s lasting impact]
"Beyond these brief references, Scripture gives few details. Yet what we do see is steady, practical service: travelling when needed, opening their home to believers, and helping others understand the gospel more accurately."
[Closing reflection]
"So what’s so special about Priscilla? In a few short mentions, she models faithful partnership—serving alongside Aquila, supporting gospel work, and offering gentle, private correction when needed."
"Her example encourages us to use what we have—our skills, our homes, and our friendships—to strengthen the church, and to handle differences in understanding with grace and care."
"To learn more about Priscilla, see Acts 18:2–3, 18–19, 24–26; Romans 16:3–5; 1 Corinthians 16:19; and 2 Timothy 4:19."
