The holy, glorious, all-laudable '''Apostle Apollo''' , also '''Apollos''' (in Greek: Απολλως), is numbered among the [[Apostles#The_Seventy|Seventy Apostles]]. He was [[Bishop]] in Smyrna before St. Polycarp. The Church remembers StApollo is a contraction of Apollonius. Apollo on was a well educated Jew from Alexandria who was a companion and active [[September 10missionary]]. Scriptural references: with [[ActsApostle Paul]] 18:24-25, 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).
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:Biblical Saints|Apollo]][[Category: Bishops|Apollo]][[Category:1st-century bishops|Apollo]][[Category: Seventy Apostles]][[Category: 1st-century saints]] [[ro:Apostolul Apollo]]
