Acts 18:2
Found a certain Jew named Aquila. We have no account of the
conversion of these two Christians, so famous in connection with Paul's
labors. The fact that he describes Aquila as a Jew seems to imply that
he was not yet a Christian. I am of the opinion that they were
converted at Corinth. For other notices of them, see Acts 18:18
Romans 16:3 1Co 16:19 2Ti 4:19.
Born in Pontus. A great province southeast of the Euxine Sea.
Lately come from Italy. They had been driven out of Italy
because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome.
By a decree of the Emperor Claudius banishing all Jews from Rome. The
Roman historian Suetonius, who lived about fifty years later, alludes
to this decree, but states that the Jews made disturbances at the
instigation of one "Chrestus", a form the ancients often used for
spelling "Christus"; a mistake of the historian, showing that they did
not comprehend the spiritual nature of Christ's reign.
