What did the brethren do when Apollos was disposed to pass into Achaia?
When Apollos was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he helped them much, for they had now believed through grace. This followed Aquila and Priscilla expounding to him the way of God more perfectly.
Les explains that after Aquila and Priscilla took Apollos home and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly, communicating everything they had learned from Paul—that the cross now made all the difference, that they were no longer under the kingdom economy, the law, or temple worship because Christ had died, been buried, and risen—the brethren in Achaia wrote exhorting the disciples to receive him. Achaia was the state surrounding southern Greece. When Apollos arrived, he helped them much, for they had believed through grace. His whole mind had been opened up. Later, when Apollos came to Corinth, he preached and taught much the same thing as Paul, but with a little more Jewish flavor, since he had been steeped in the teachings of John the Baptist. Many Corinthian believers became glued to Apollos, listening to him rather than Paul.
