Perhaps because he displays some of the 'wisdom' that Paul lacks, Apollos has gained a following within the Corinthian church. [10] Apollos received a sufficiently Christian instruction ( katechesis ) to speak about 'the way of the Lord' (verse 25), but it stops short at the 'baptism of John' (Acts 19:3). [ 32 ]
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 ...
Since 1 Corinthians discusses a crisis deriving from a conflict between the followers of Apollos and the followers of Cephas (possibly the apostle Peter), it can be inferred that Apollos accompanied Priscilla and Aquila when they returned to Corinth. This happened before 54, when Claudius died and the expulsion of the Jews from Rome was lifted.
The writer of Acts introduces Saul, later the Apostle Paul, as an active witness of Stephen's death in Acts 7:58, and confirmed his approval in Acts 8:1a. Reuben Torrey, in his Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, suggests that this clause [i.e. verse 8:1a] "evidently belongs to the conclusion of the previous chapter".

Saint Paul Writing His Epistles, 17th-century painting. Most scholars think Paul actually dictated his letters to a secretary, for example Romans 16:22, [16] cites a scribe named Tertius. According to 2 Thessalonians 3,17, [17] Paul authenticated all of his letters with the final greeting and signature. A 19th-century portrayal of Paul the Apostle
"Archaic Torso of Apollo" is a sonnet with the rhyme scheme AbbA CddC EEf GfG. [1] It is an ekphrasis—a rhetorical genre from ancient Greece that describes inanimate objects—of an archaic Greek sculpture of Apollo, of which only the torso and crotch area survive.
In Acts 21:38, a Roman asks Paul if he was 'the Egyptian' who led a band of 'sicarii' (literally: 'dagger-men') into the desert. In both The Jewish Wars [93] and Antiquities of the Jews, [94] Josephus talks about Jewish nationalist rebels called sicarii directly prior to talking about the Egyptian leading some followers to the Mount of Olives ...
