PRISCILLA

Back to Bible Dictionary

a Christian woman, well known in the Acts, and in St. Paul’s
epistles; sometimes placed before her husband Aquila. From Ephesus this
pious pair went to Rome, where they were when St. Paul wrote his epistle
to the Romans, A. D. 58. He salutes them the first of all, with great
commendations, Rom. xvi, 3. They returned into Asia some time afterward;
and St. Paul, writing to Timothy, desires him to salute them on his
behalf, 2 Tim. iv, 19, A. D. 65.
