- Acts 18:24–18:28
Read Acts 18:26 with 18:24–18:28. In isolation, this contribution—reports Priscilla and Aquila privately explaining God's way more accurately—can be mistaken for the scene's whole claim, detached from its speaker or narrator, or separated from its outcome. The complete unit establishes: Apollos arrives eloquent and scripturally able but knowing only John's baptism; Priscilla and Aquila privately explain the way more accurately, and the community commends his effective Achaian ministry.
