The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Apollo''', also '''Apollos''' (in Greek: Απολλως), is numbered among the [[Apostles|Seventy Apostles]]. Apollo is a contraction of Apollonius. Apollo was a well educated Jew from Alexandria who was a companion and active [[missionary]] with [[Apostle Paul]], particularly in Corinth. Apparently already well versed in the [[Holy Scripture|Scriptures]] and probably influenced by the teaching of disciples of [[John the Forerunner|John the Baptist]], Apollo became known to Paul in [[Ephesus]] where [[Apostle Aquila|Aquila]] and Priscilla spoke with him and instructed him more accurately in the ways of God ([[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]] 18:24-28, 19:1-7). Later, he appears as an important personage in Corinth where Paul refers to him as part of the community (1 Corinthians 3:6, and 4:6). That he was an important companion of Paul’s mission is shown when later in his letter from Ephesus, Paul refers to Apollo’s coming visit to Corinth (1 Corinthians 16:12). Later in life, Apollo retired to the island of Crete with Zenas, where he may have been bishop. Afterward he returned to Corinth where he was [[bishop]]. Later tradition varies in that he is reported to have been bishop at a number of places including Smyrna in Asia Minor and Caesarea. Apollo is commemorated on [[September 10]] and [[March 30]]. He is also remembered with [[Apostle Sosthenes|Sosthenes]], [[Apostle Cephas|Cephas]], [[Apostle Tychicus |Tychicus]], [[Apostle Epaphroditus|Epaphroditus]], [[Apostle Caesar|Caesar]], and [[Apostle Onesiphorus|Onesiphorus]] as part of the Seventy on [[December 8]], and on [[January 4]] in the [[Synaxis]] of the Seventy Apostles. ==Sources== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollos Wikipedia: Apollos] *[http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsLife.asp?FSID=103497 OCA: Apostle Apollos of the Seventy-December 8] *[http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsLife.asp?FSID=100947 OCA: Apostle Apollos of the Seventy-March 30] ==External links== *[http://www.westsrbdio.org/prolog/my.html?month=December&day=8 The Prologue of Ohrid - December 8] *[http://www.westsrbdio.org/prolog/my.html?month=September&day=10 The Prologue of Ohrid - September 10] [[Category: Biblical Saints|Apollo]] [[Category: Saints|Apollo]] [[Category: Bishops|Apollo]] [[Category: Seventy Apostles]] [[ro:Apostolul Apollo]]
