Apollos
   a Jew "born at Alexandria," a man well versed in the Scriptures
   and eloquent (Acts 18:24; R.V., "learned"). He came to Ephesus
   (about A.D. 49), where he spake "boldly" in the synagogue
   (18:26), although he did not know as yet that Jesus of Nazareth
   was the Messiah. Aquila and Priscilla instructed him more
   perfectly in "the way of God", i.e., in the knowledge of Christ.
   He then proceeded to Corinth, where he met Paul (Acts 18:27;
   19:1). He was there very useful in watering the good seed Paul
   had sown (1 Cor. 1:12), and in gaining many to Christ. His
   disciples were much attached to him (1 Cor. 3:4-7, 22). He was
   with Paul at Ephesus when he wrote the First Epistle to the
   Corinthians; and Paul makes kindly reference to him in his
   letter to Titus (3:13). Some have supposed, although without
   sufficient ground, that he was the author of the Epistle to the
   Hebrews.
