Strong's Lexicon Apollós: Apollos Original Word: Ἀπολλώς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek name Ἀπόλλων (Apollon), which is associated with the Greek god Apollo. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Apollos, as it is a Greek name. However, the role of a learned teacher or scribe in Jewish tradition might be loosely associated with Hebrew terms like סוֹפֵר (sopher, "scribe") or מוֹרֶה (moreh, "teacher"). Usage: Apollos is a Jewish Christian mentioned in the New Testament, known for his eloquence and knowledge of the Scriptures. He played a significant role in the early Christian church, particularly in Corinth and Ephesus. Apollos is depicted as a learned man, fervent in spirit, and competent in the Scriptures, who initially knew only the baptism of John but was later instructed more fully in the way of God by Priscilla and Aquila. Cultural and Historical Background: Apollos was a native of Alexandria, a city renowned for its intellectual and cultural heritage, including a large Jewish population. Alexandria was a center of learning and philosophy, which likely contributed to Apollos' education and rhetorical skills. His background in Alexandria would have equipped him with a deep understanding of the Jewish Scriptures and possibly exposure to Hellenistic thought, making him an effective communicator of the Gospel in the diverse cultural settings of the early church.
