However, the concept of hospitality and teaching can be linked to various Hebrew terms related to wisdom and fellowship.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Priska, more commonly known as Priscilla, is a prominent female figure in the New Testament. She is often mentioned alongside her husband, Aquila, and is recognized for her significant role in the early Christian church. Priscilla is noted for her hospitality, teaching, and missionary work, often working closely with the Apostle Paul.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Priscilla lived during the first century A.D., a time when the early Christian church was expanding throughout the Roman Empire. As a Jewish Christian, she and her husband Aquila were tentmakers by trade, a profession they shared with Paul. They were expelled from Rome by Emperor Claudius's edict against Jews and subsequently settled in Corinth, where they met Paul. Priscilla's role in the church is notable, as women in the Greco-Roman world typically held limited public roles. Her involvement in teaching and mentoring, particularly of Apollos, highlights her respected position within the early Christian community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Prisca, a Christian and the wife of Aquila<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Prisca (3), Priscilla (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4251: Πρίσκα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Πρίσκα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (accusative, <span class="greek2">Πρίσκαν</span>), <span class="accented">Prisca</span> (a Latin name (literally, 'ancient')), a Christian woman, wife of Aquila (concerning whom see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">Ἀκύλας</span></span>): <a href="/interlinear/romans/16-3.htm">Romans 16:3</a> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/16-19.htm">1 Corinthians 16:19</a>, Lachmann's stereotyped edition; <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-19.htm">2 Timothy 4:19</a>.
