Patristic Quote of the Day

It must be noted that we must believe that women passed on the faith: see how completely desirous of salvation Apollos was, for even though he was an educated man and was well versed in the Scripture’s secrets, he did not consider it worthless to learn the fullness of the faith from a woman. He did not become conceited as if he were receiving a rebuke from a woman that “you should learn more fully the things concerning God the Word’s ordaining.” Therefore Priscilla explained to him in her teaching the things of faith, and Apollos listened and received them.—Ammonius, Cantena on the Acts of the Apostles.
