Study 36 From The Book of Acts Is: Acts 18:18-28
- Paul
ends his second missionary journey (verses 18-23) with travels of more
than a thousand miles. Luke reviews many months very briefly. Note, with
the help of a map, the places Paul visited and the purposes he hoped to
achieve.
- We
have a thumb – nail sketch of Apollos in verses 24-28. What is said about
(a) his knowledge of the Scriptures, (b) his enthusiasm, (c) the help
Aquila and Priscilla gave, (d) his preaching, and (e) the value of his
ministry (cf. 1 Cor. 3:6)? Take
each of these five points and ask yourself what you can learn from the
life of Apollos.
Notes:
- Verse
18 ‘He had a vow’: it is not known why Paul made a vow. The practice was,
however, common among the Jews.
- Verse
22. ‘He went up’: ie, to Jerusalem.
