About

Always mentioned alongside his wife Priscilla (Prisca). They were expelled from Rome under Claudius, met Paul in Corinth (Acts 18:2-3), and shared his trade of tentmaking. They traveled with Paul, hosted churches in their home, and notably took Apollos aside to explain the faith more accurately (Acts 18:26). Paul calls them 'my fellow workers in Christ Jesus' who 'risked their necks for my life' (Romans 16:3-4).
