Apollos
        (given by Apollo) a Jew from Alexandria, eloquent (which may also mean learned) and mighty in the Scriptures; one instructed in the way of the Lord, according to the imperfect view of the disciples of John the Baptist, Ac 18:24 but on his coming to Ephesus during a temporary absence of St. Paul, A.D. 54, more perfectly taught by Aquila and Priscilla. After this he became a preacher of the gospel, first in Achaia and then in Corinth. Ac 18:27; 19:1 When the apostle wrote his First Epistle to the Corinthians, Apollos was with or near him, 1Co 16:12 probably at Ephesus in A.D. 57. He is mentioned but once more in the New Testament, in Tit 3:13 After this nothing is known of him. Tradition makes him bishop of Caesarea.
