Editing Priscilla and Aquila (section)

== New Testament references==

They are mentioned six times in four different books of the [[New Testament]], always named as a couple and never individually. Of those six references, Aquila's name is mentioned first only twice: and one of the times on account of it being Paul's first encounter with them, probably through Aquila first.

# {{Bibleref2|Acts|18:2–3|NLT}}: "There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when [[Claudius' expulsion of Jews from Rome|Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome]]. Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was."
# {{Bibleref2|Acts|18:18|NLT}}: "Paul stayed in Corinth for some time after that, then said good-bye to the brothers and sisters and went to nearby Cenchrea. There he shaved his head according to Jewish custom, marking the end of a vow. Then he set sail for Syria, taking Priscilla and Aquila with him."
# {{Bibleref2|Acts|18:26|NLT}}: "When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately."
# {{Bibleref2|Romans|16:3|NLT}}: "Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus."
# {{Bibleref2|1 Corinthians|16:19|NLT}}: "The churches here in the province of Asia send greetings in the Lord, as do Aquila and Priscilla and all the others who gather in their home for church meetings."
# {{Bibleref2|2 Timothy|4:19|NLT}}: "Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila and those living in the household of Onesiphorus."
Note: This is not KJV; in the KJV, Acts 18:26 lists their names as "Aquila and Priscilla" making the count three and three.
