Paul describes Apollos' role at Corinth: I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. [8] Paul's Epistle refers to a schism between four parties in the Corinthian church, of which two attached themselves to Paul and Apollos respectively, using their names [9] (the third and fourth were Peter, identified as Cephas, and Jesus Christ ...
Perhaps because he displays some of the 'wisdom' that Paul lacks, Apollos has gained a following within the Corinthian church.

[35] [36] The Dark Prophecy was released on May 2, 2017, and sold 63,000 copies in the first week. [37] The third book, The Burning Maze was published on May 1 ...
Claudius Lysias is aware of Jewish anarchistic movements, for when Paul speaking in Greek asks permission to speak to the shouting Jewish mob, the tribune appears shocked that he speaks Greek (Acts 21.37).
