A Model of Mutual Humility
Commentators emphasize the profound humility shown by both parties. Priscilla and Aquila, a craft-working couple, privately instructed a brilliant and eloquent preacher. Apollos, in turn, humbly accepted their teaching. This serves as a powerful model for how all believers, regardless of status or giftedness, should be open to both teaching and being taught within the body of Christ.
