They were Jewish Christians who played a significant role in the early church. Their names appear in <a href="/acts/18.htm">Acts 18</a>, where they meet Paul in Corinth. They were tentmakers by trade, like Paul, which likely facilitated their initial connection. The couple is known for their hospitality and teaching, as they hosted a church in their home (<a href="/1_corinthians/16-19.htm">1 Corinthians 16:19</a>) and instructed Apollos, an eloquent preacher, in the way of God more accurately (<a href="/acts/18-26.htm">Acts 18:26</a>). Their mention in <a href="/romans/16-3.htm">Romans 16:3</a> indicates their continued influence and presence in the early Christian community.<p><b>my fellow workers in Christ Jesus</b><br>Paul refers to Prisca and Aquila as "fellow workers," highlighting their active participation in the mission of spreading the Gospel. This term indicates a partnership in ministry, suggesting that they were not merely supporters but active participants in evangelism and church planting. Their work in Christ Jesus underscores their commitment to the Christian mission and their role in the early church's expansion. This phrase also reflects the collaborative nature of early Christian ministry, where men and women worked together to advance the faith. Their dedication is further evidenced by their willingness to risk their lives for Paul, as mentioned in <a href="/romans/16-4.htm">Romans 16:4</a>, demonstrating their deep commitment to the cause of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/prisca.htm">Prisca (Priscilla)</a></b><br>Prisca, also known as Priscilla, is a prominent female figure in the early Christian church.

And greet the Church that is in their house.</span> For other notices of them, el. <a href="/acts/18-2.htm">Acts 18:2, 18, 26</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/16-19.htm">1 Corinthians 16:19</a>; <a href="/2_timothy/4-19.htm">2 Timothy 4:19</a>; whence we learn that Aquila was a Jew of Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had been settled at Rome, whence, when the Jews were expelled by Claudius, they had gone to Corinth, where St. Paul found them on his first visit to that city; that St. Paul abode with them there, working with Aquila at tent-making, which was the croft of both; that they left Corinth with St. Paul for Syria, and were for a time left by him at Ephesus, where they instructed Apollos on his arrival there; that, when St. Paul wrote from Ephesus his First Epistle to the Corinthians, they sent greetings by it, having then a congregation of Christians which assembled at their house; that, having returned to Rome when the Epistle to the Romans was written, their house there also was made available for the same purpose; and that, when St. Paul was for the last time a prisoner at Rome before his martyrdom, they were once more living at Ephesus. They were probably in good circumstances, having had both at Rome and Ephesus houses large enough to be used as churches; and they were evidently leading and active members of the Christian community. It would seem that Priscilla, the wife, was especially so, and she may have been, like Phoebe, officially employed; for though, when they are first mentioned (<a href="/acts/18-2.htm">Acts 18:2</a>) as having lately come to Corinth, and when they themselves send greetings to Corinth (<a href="/1_corinthians/16-19.htm">1 Corinthians 16:19</a>), Aquila's name naturally comes first, yet St. Paul in all other mention of them reverses the order. The occasion of their having apparently risked their own lives in defence of St. Paul is unknown. It may have been at Corinth at the time of the Jewish insurrection against him (<a href="/acts/18-12.htm">Acts 18:12</a>), or at Ephesus at the time of the tumult raised by Demetrius the silversmith (<a href="/acts/19-23.htm">Acts 19:23</a>, etc.), when St. Paul had been in imminent danger. The phrase, "laid down their neck" (not, as in the Authorized Version, "necks"), seems only to denote, figuratively, . "exposed their lives to danger." It appears, from the large number of greetings which follow, that there were now many Christians at Rome known to, or any rate known of by, the apostle. It does not follow that he was acquainted with all of them personally. He may have heard of them in the frequent inquiries he had doubtless made about the Roman Church (cf. <a href="/romans/1-8.htm">Romans 1:8</a>). Many of them, however, he evidently knew, and with some had been associated. It was likely that many known to him in various quarters might have had occasion to resort to Rome. There are in all twenty-six individuals to whom greetings are sent, together with two households of slaves, and probably three congregations, as will appear below. <span class="cmt_word">Salute</span> (or, as before, <span class="accented">greet</span>. The verb is the same as before, and so throughout the chapter) <span class="cmt_word">my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Asia</span> (certainly so, rather than <span class="accented">Achaia</span>, probably introduced into the text from <a href="/1_corinthians/16-15.htm">1 Corinthians 16:15</a>) <span class="cmt_word">unto Christ</span>. <span class="accented">Asia</span> means the proconsular province so called, being the western part of Asia Minor, of which the capital was Ephesus. Epaenetus may have been St. Paul's own first convert there during his second missionary journey (cf. <a href="/acts/16-6.htm">Acts 16:6</a>). The fact of the apostle having been then "forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the Word in Asia" does not preclude there having been converts thence. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/romans/16-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Greet</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἀσπάσασθε</span> <span class="translit">(Aspasasthe)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Imperative Middle - 2nd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_782.htm">Strong's 782: </a> </span><span class="str2">To greet, salute, pay my respects to, welcome.
