Aquila and Priscilla listened to him, and saw that his teachings were defective. He had not a thorough knowledge of the mission of Christ, his resurrection and ascension, and of the work of his Spirit, the Comforter which he sent down to remain with his people during his absence. They accordingly sent for Apollos, and the educated orator received instruction from them with grateful surprise and joy. Through their teachings he obtained a clearer understanding of the Scriptures, and became one of the ablest defenders of the Christian church. Thus a thorough scholar and brilliant orator learned the way of the Lord more perfectly from the teachings of a Christian man and woman whose humble employment was that of tent-making.{LP 119.2}

Akvila og Priska lyttede til ham, og så at hans lære var mangelfuld. Han havde ikke grundigt kendskab til Kristi mission, og hans opstandelse og himmelfart, og til hans Ånds arbejde, Trøstermanden som han sendte for at blive hos sit folk, under hans fravær. Derfor sendte de Apollos, og de uddannede taler fik undervisning af dem, til glædelig overraskelse. I deres lære fik han en klarere forståelse af Skriften, og blev en af de bedste forsvarer for den kristne kirke. Derved lærte en så grundig videnskabsmand og strålende taler Herrens vej mere til fulde, fra en kristen mands og kvindes lære hvis ydmyge erhverv var at lave telte.
