And found a certain Jew - Aquila is mentioned elsewhere as the friend of Paul, Romans 16:3; 2 Timothy 4:19; 1 Corinthians 16:19. Though a Jew by birth, yet it is evident that he became a convert to the Christian faith.Born in Pontus - See the notes on Acts 2:9.Lately come from Italy - Though the command of Claudius extended only to Rome, yet it was probably deemed not safe to remain, or it might have been difficult to procure occupation in any part of Italy.Because that Claudius - Claudius was... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 18:1-4

Across to Corinth (18:1-4)Corinth was a strategic commercial centre situated on a well used Roman road. It was also an important port, and like many ports it was full of all sorts of vice. Its reputation was so bad that people referred to a person of loose morals as one who ‘behaved like a Corinthian’. Yet Paul planted a church there and, not surprisingly, it became one of the most colourful and unorthodox churches of all.As he often did on his travels, Paul earned his living in Corinth by... read more

And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them; and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.Scholars have advocated opposite positions with regard to whether or not Aquila and Priscilla were Christians when Paul met them. Milligan thought they were not, basing his view on... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 18:1-2

Acts 18:1-2. To Corinth;— Achaia Propria was a part of Greece, and Corinth the metropolis of Achaia Propria. It was a famous mart town; for, by standing in the middle of the isthmus, it had the trade of both the eastern and western seas, that is, through Asia and Europe. It was at first called Ephyre; but it had the name of Corinth from one Corinthus, who took and rebuilt it; and it had now gone by that name for several years. Cenchrea was its port or haven for the east or AEgean sea; as... read more

Ministry in Corinth 18:1-17Silas and Timothy had evidently rejoined Paul in Athens (1 Thessalonians 3:1). Before leaving Athens, Paul sent Timothy back to Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 3:2) and Silas back to somewhere in Macedonia (Acts 18:5), perhaps Philippi (cf. Philippians 4:16). Paul entered Corinth without these brethren, but they joined him in Corinth later (Acts 18:5; 1 Thessalonians 3:6). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 18:2-3

Pontus was the Roman province in Asia Minor that lay east of Bithynia on the Black Sea coast (in modern northern Turkey).Priscilla had another name, Prisca (Romans 16:3; 1 Corinthians 16:19; 2 Timothy 4:19), the latter being more formal. Luke normally used the colloquial, diminutive form of names (e.g., Silas, Sopatros, Priscilla, Apollos), but Paul preferred their formal names in his writings (e.g., Silvanus, Sosipatros, Prisca, Epaphroditus). Nevertheless he sometimes used the more popular... read more
