Apollos; who is thought also to be called Apelles, Romans 16:10. Born at Alexandria; his parents having lived there. An eloquent man; a rational, prudent, and learned man. Though the kingdom of God is not in any excellency of speech, 1 Corinthians 2:1,4, yet this Egyptian jewel may be used to adorn the tabernacle. Mighty in the Scriptures; in quoting, explaining, and urging of them.
