A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Priscilla
There they became acquainted with St. Paul, who wrought with them as a tent-maker, being of the same occupation; as every Jew, whether rich or poor, was obliged to follow a trade. After the departure of St. Paul, they instructed the eloquent and zealous Apollos in christianity, which he before knew no more of, than what was contained in the system of John the Baptist. Both Priscilla and her husband appear to have been highly esteemed by St. Paul; to have laboured with him, both in a spiritual and temporal sense, at Corinth; and on their return to Rome, some years after, to have laid the foundation of the Christian church there, before the arrival of an apostle. They also went to Ephesus, and after the departure of St. Paul from that city, remained, steadily going on in pursuit of their holy purpose, in which they were afterwards assisted by their former proselyte, Apollos.
