Apollos was a 1st-century Jewish Christian from Alexandria who became an influential preacher in the early church. A contemporary of the Apostle Paul, he was noted for his fervent spirit and his ability to argue persuasively using the Scriptures. After arriving in Ephesus, he was further instructed in the Christian faith by Priscilla and Aquila. He later moved to Corinth, where he played a significant role in supporting the local believers and was described by Paul as one who watered the seeds of faith planted by others.
