Priscilla: The Way Is Learned While Walking
Women of the Early Church 4
Acts 18:1–4, 24–28Introduction
There are some people in Scripture who arrive with fanfare.Moses comes with a burning bush. Samuel hears a voice in the night. Paul is knocked from his horse—or at least from his certainty—on the road to Damascus.
Priscilla does not enter the story that way. She enters because she has been forced from her home.
Acts tells us that Paul came to Corinth and found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because the emperor Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome.That is how she enters the biblical record. With an eviction. The Roman emperor made a decree, and so ordinary people had to pack up their belongings, say goodbye to familiar streets, and flee. Priscilla was displaced by imperial power.
We do not know what she left behind. We do not know how much notice she received. We only know that Claudius decided, and Priscilla moved.
It is easy to read past sentences like that in Scripture. We read, “Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome,” and then move immediately to Paul. But imagine being one of the people inside that sentence. An emperor speaks hundreds of miles away, and suddenly your life changes.
Let us pray,
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O God, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.Homily
One of the great themes of the Bible is that powerful people repeatedly imagine that they are the ones controlling history, while God quietly works through the people their decisions scatter. Pharaoh oppresses the Hebrews, and Moses rises. Nebuchadnezzar carries people into exile, and faith survives in Babylon. Caesar Augustus issues a decree, and a child is born in Bethlehem. Claudius drives Priscilla and Aquila from Rome, and they end up in Corinth.And there they meet Paul.
Empire scatters. God gathers.
Empire displaces. God connects.
Caesar thinks he is moving unwanted people out of Rome. God is building a church. There is something deeply hopeful in that.Sometimes, the place where our story seems to have been interrupted becomes the place from which another story begins.A menudo, donde nuestra historia se interrumpe, comienza la historia de Dios.
Priscilla does not disappear because she has been displaced. She begins again. The first thing Acts tells us about her new life is wonderfully ordinary. She works.
Paul stays with Priscilla and Aquila because they share the same trade.
Traditionally, we call them tentmakers, though they may have worked more broadly in leather or heavy cloth.Whatever exactly they made, they made things with their hands. And Paul worked beside them. Before Priscilla becomes known to us as a teacher of theology, we meet her at a workbench.
I love that.
Because we have sometimes made Christian ministry far more complicated than the New Testament does.We divide life into sacred and secular.
This is church.
That is work.
This is ministry.
That is ordinary life.
But Priscilla’s story does not allow such an easy division.The apostle Paul is working beside her.
Somewhere between the cutting of cloth and the stitching of leather, conversations must have happened.
Stories were exchanged.
Scriptures were discussed.
Jesus was remembered.
Meals were shared.
Plans were made.
Friendship grew.
The church was forming before anybody called a meeting to order.Perhaps we should remember that.
Much of the kingdom of God happens while people are doing something else.Gran parte del reino de Dios sucede mientras la gente está haciendo otra cosa.
At kitchen tables.
In workshops.
In hospital rooms.
On front porches.
During coffee breaks.
While washing dishes after a church supper.
While riding together in a car.
While helping a neighbor repair something that is broken.
We sometimes imagine that the most important moments in Christian history occurred behind pulpits.
(I for one surely hope not!:)Acts suggests that many of these seminal events happened around ordinary tables and workbenches.
And notice something else.
We usually tell the story of Acts as the story of Paul.
Paul goes here.
Paul preaches there.
Paul starts a church.
Paul writes a letter.
But when Paul arrives in Corinth, he needs people.
He needs work.
He needs community.
And he finds Priscilla and Aquila.
Perhaps instead of asking only what Paul taught Priscilla, we should also ask:
What did Priscilla teach Paul?The New Testament never really gives us the solitary Christian hero we sometimes imagine.
Paul needs Barnabas.
Paul needs Silas.
Paul needs Timothy.
Paul needs Lydia.
Paul needs Phoebe.
Paul needs Priscilla and Aquila.
The gospel moves through relationships.El evangelio se mueve a través de las relaciones.
The gospel moves because people open doors.
The gospel moves because somebody cooks supper.
The gospel moves because somebody offers a room.
The gospel moves because somebody says, “You can work here.”
The gospel moves because somebody listens.
The gospel moves because somebody teaches.
The gospel moves because somebody is willing to learn.And that brings us to the second part of our reading.
Paul eventually leaves Corinth, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila, and they come to Ephesus.
Then a man named Apollos arrives.
Luke wants us to be impressed with Apollos.
He tells us that Apollos is eloquent, well-versed in the Scriptures, and has been instructed in the Way of the Lord.
This man is gifted.
The kind of preacher people would probably travel aways to hear.
If Apollos lived today, his books would be in the featured section of the Christian bookstore.
People would say, “Have you heard the Apollos podcast?”And then Luke gives us one important detail.
Apollos knows only the baptism of John.
His understanding of the gospel is real, but incomplete.
And sitting in the synagogue listening to this gifted preacher are these refugee tentmakers Priscilla and Aquila.
They hear both what he understands and what he does not.
That requires discernment.
It is possible to be impressed by someone’s gifts and still recognize the limits of their understanding.
Those two things can be true at the same time.
Apollos is gifted.
Apollos needs discipling.
And Priscilla knows something Apollos needs to know.
What happens next is remarkable.
Priscilla and Aquila take Apollos aside and explain the Way of God to him more accurately.
We should not rush past that sentence either.A woman in the first-century church helps provide theological instruction to an educated male preacher.
Priscilla knows the Way.
Apollos needs to understand it more fully.
So she helps teach him.
That alone ought to make Priscilla an important figure whenever Christians talk about women and leadership in the church.
She does not ask for permission to understand theology.
She does not ask for permission to teach theology.
She recognizes that a brother in Christ needs to understand the gospel more fully, and she helps him understand.
And perhaps equally remarkable is what Apollos does.
He listens.
The story would fall apart if either person was not receptive to God’s Spirit.
If Priscilla thought, “Who am I to say anything?”
If Apollos thought, “Who is she to teach me?”
Apollos would remain incomplete in his understanding.The gospel moves forward because one person has enough confidence to speak and another has enough humility to listen.
That may be one of the lessons Acts 18 has for the church today.We live in an age in which disagreement often becomes combat.
If someone is wrong, we expose them.
Post about them.
Humiliate them.
Gather supporters.
Win the argument.
But that is not what happens here.
Priscilla and Aquila do not interrupt Apollos in the synagogue and shout him down.
They take him aside.
They explain.
They teach.
And he learns.
There is correction here without humiliation.
Truth without cruelty.
Conviction without domination.
Priscilla does not need to destroy Apollos in order to correct him.
And Apollos does not need to defend his ego in order to preserve his dignity.Both of them understand something we desperately need to recover:
Being corrected is not the same thing as being diminished.
Sometimes being corrected is how God enlarges us.Ser corregido no es lo mismo que ser menospreciado.
A veces, ser corregido es la manera en que Dios nos hace crecer.Faith is not finished simply because we know something.
Even mature Christians remain learners.
Even gifted people have blind spots.
Even preachers need teachers.
Amen?
Even teachers need teachers.
No one graduates from discipleship.
As I’ve said in the past, there is no retirement from the call of God.
We spend our lives learning the Way of God more accurately.
Or we should if we are to continue to grow in our faith.The earliest Christians often spoke of their faith as “the Way.”
Before Christianity became an institution, before it became associated with cathedrals or denominations or creeds or committees, followers of Jesus were known as people of the Way.
A way is something you walk.
It is movement.
Direction.
Practice.
A way is not merely something you believe.
It is something you travel.
And Priscilla’s whole life seems to embody that.
Rome.
Corinth.
Ephesus.
Later, Rome again.
She is almost always moving.
The emperor drives her onto the road, but the road itself becomes part of her ministry.
She travels with the gospel because she has learned that faith is not tied to one building or one city or one circumstance.
Wherever she goes, church seems to happen.Eventually, Paul writes about a church meeting in the home of Priscilla and Aquila.
Priscilla is driven from one home by an emperor.
And then she spends her life turning other homes into churches.There is something beautifully subversive about that.
Empire can drive you from a house.
But empire cannot stop hospitality.
Empire can change your address.
But it cannot prevent you from opening your door.
Empire can scatter people.
But God can make the scattered people into a community.There is another small detail in the New Testament that is worth noticing.
Priscilla and Aquila are mentioned together six times, and in most of those references Priscilla is named first.
In the ancient world, that is unusual enough to make us wonder whether the early church recognized her as a particularly significant leader.
We cannot know exactly why her name sometimes comes first.
But we can at least notice that the New Testament does not seem embarrassed by her prominence.Paul calls Priscilla and Aquila his coworkers in Christ Jesus.
Coworkers.
Paul even says that they risked their lives for him.
These are people deeply invested in the mission of the church.
And Priscilla becomes a reminder that Christian authority does not always come with a title.
But look at what she does.
She works beside an apostle.
She travels as a missionary.
She helps establish Christian communities.
She opens her home to the church.
She teaches theology.
She mentors a gifted preacher.
She risks her life.
She becomes a trusted coworker in the gospel.
Her authority emerges from the faithfulness of her life.Su autoridad surge de la fidelidad de su vida.
And perhaps this is where Priscilla speaks most directly to the church.
How many women have known the Way of God more accurately than those given permission to speak?
How many voices have been sitting quietly in our congregations while the church waited for wisdom to arrive from somewhere else?
How many Apollos could become more faithful if they were willing to be taught by a Priscilla?
And perhaps that question cuts both directions.
Is there a Priscilla whom God has placed in your life?
Who might help you know the Way of God more accurately?Because it is easy to admire Priscilla.
It is harder to become Apollos.
It is harder to say:
“I have something to learn.”
It is harder to discover that being experienced is not the same as knowing everything.
Being a pastor does not mean I cease to be teachable.
Being male does not mean I have nothing to learn from a woman.
Being Christian for fifty years does not mean I have finished learning the Way.
The church becomes healthier whenever Priscilla is free to speak and Apollos is humble enough to listen.And notice what happens after Apollos receives this instruction.
He goes on to become even more effective in ministry.
Priscilla’s teaching does not diminish him.
It releases him.
That is what good teaching does.
That is what healthy Christian leadership does.
It helps other people become more fully who God has called them to be.
History remembers Apollos preaching.
But behind Apollos stands Priscilla.
And behind many of the people we remember stand people whose names we may never learn.That may be good news for all of us whose lives sometimes feel rather ordinary.
The kingdom of God is not measured only by what happens in front of crowds.
Sometimes, the kingdom happens when two people sit down with another person and say,
“Come. There is more.”The Way is learned while walking.
Priscilla walked it from Rome to Corinth, from Corinth to Ephesus, from displacement into community, from labor into ministry, from hospitality into leadership.
And everywhere she went, she seems to have carried one conviction with her:
There is always an opportunity for the gospel to become more fully known.So perhaps the invitation of Priscilla is simple.
Keep walking.
Keep learning.
Keep listening.
Keep opening the door.
Keep making room for the voices God sends us.
And when God places wisdom in you, do not assume that humility means silence.
Speak.
Teach.
Encourage.
Correct with gentleness.
Offer what you have been given.Because somewhere there may be an Apollos who knows much but needs to know more.
Somewhere, there may be a Paul who needs a place to work and a community to belong to.
Somewhere, there may be people searching for a church, not realizing that the church may begin when you open your home.
And somewhere, there may be another Priscilla who has spent too long wondering whether anyone will listen.The story of Acts 18 gives us an answer. The church needs her. The church has always needed her.

Because the Way of God is too large for any one of us to fully understand alone. We learn it together. We teach one another. We receive from one another.
And by the grace of God, as we walk together, we come to know the Way more accurately. Amen. -
