Women in the Book of Acts. Acts 18:26 records that Priscilla and Aquila, a husband and wife team, teach Apollos about Christ. The original text records the female’s name first—which is unusual—and thus draws attention to Priscilla as the leading person (compare Acts 18:26 NKJV, where the names are swapped). Acts mentions several additional females who play a crucial role in the early church, such as Lydia, who became a follower of Christ and opened up her home for church meetings (Acts 16:14–15), and four prophetesses (Acts 21:9). As the Gospel is taken further west, women respond to the Gospel, including Damaris in Athens (Acts 17:34).
