ACTS 18:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.”
Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus — He was a learned man (dunatos, powerful or capable), with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures — Apollos's Alexandrian provenance suggests familiarity with allegorical exegesis (Philo's tradition). His learning (dunamis, power or capability) and scriptural knowledge promise theological weight.
