| There are other persons of means who function as patrons, hosts, or positive examples including the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26), Judas (9:11), Simon (10:6), Proconsular governor Sergius Paulus (13:4-12), Lydia (16:15), influential Greek men and women from Beroea (17:12), Dionysius, a member of the court of the Areopagus (17:34), Aquila and Priscilla (18:1-4), Crispus, a synagogue leader (18:8), Philip (21:7-14), and Mnason (21:16).
