Aquila, along with his wife Priscilla, was a Jewish Christian who worked as a tentmaker and played a significant role in the early church, partnering with Paul in his ministry.
Aquila was a Jewish-Christian tentmaker from Pontus who, with his wife Priscilla, formed one of the most prominent ministry couples in the New Testament. Expelled from Rome under Claudius's edict, he settled in Corinth where Paul worked alongside him and lodged in his home (Acts 18:2–3). He traveled with Paul to Ephesus, where he and Priscilla remained to lead a house church and instruct Apollos. Paul greets him warmly in Romans 16:3–4 and again in 2 Timothy 4:19. His trade as a tentmaker —shared with Paul—enabled the missionaries to support themselves financially in various cities rather than depending on patronage. He and Priscilla are a model of married ministry partnership and lay leadership in the early church.
