And when Having received this more perfect instruction in the Christian faith; he was disposed to pass into Achaia That he might preach the word at Corinth, and other places in that province; the brethren Of Ephesus; wrote, exhorting the disciples there to receive him With all affection and respect, as a person whose character well deserved it. And when he was come To Corinth; he helped them much which had believed Was eminently serviceable in edifying and confirming those who had embraced the gospel; (for Apollos did not plant, but water; which was the peculiar gift he had received;) through grace Through which only any gift of any one is rendered profitable to another. For he mightily convinced the Jews Which, from his great knowledge of the Scriptures, he was better able to do than to convert the heathen. Greek, ευτονως τοις Ιουδαιοις διακατηλεγχετο, he strongly, or vehemently, confuted the Jews; and that not only in private converse, but by public preaching; showing by the Scriptures By appealing to many striking passages of them, which he quoted; that Jesus was Christ The true and only Messiah; and that the salvation of men, of the Jews as well as Gentiles, depended upon their receiving and submitting to him. It seems Apollos tarried some time at Corinth, and became so zealous and useful a preacher there, that the fame of his labours reached the apostle during his abode in Ephesus; and occasioned him, in the letter which he wrote from that city to the Corinthians, to say, (1 Corinthians 3:6,) I have planted, Apollos watered.
