Aquila and Priscilla (or Aquila and Prisca) (lived 1st century AD)

Jewish leatherworker of Pontus and his wife. They went with St Paul to Ephesus, where their house became a Christian meeting place. Apollos was instructed by Aquila and Priscilla. They were peripatetic, subsequently living in Rome and Ephesus again, always hosting Christian worship.

It has been suggested that Priscilla was the author of the letter to the Hebrews.

St Paul, in his letter to the Romans (16:3–4), writes that they risked their necks for his life, and that all the churches of the Gentiles were indebted to them.
