Priscilla and Aquila, a first century Jewish Christian married couple lived in Ephesus and were partners in Paul's ministry and fellow tentmakers. They are responsible for edifying the faith of the preacher Apollos. They are mentioned seven times in the New Testament, and in five of those mentions, the wife, Priscilla, is mentioned first. This is an unusual circumstance in the early church.
