 {Apollos} (Apoll(9373)). Genitive -(935c) Attic second
declension. Probably a contraction of Apollonios as D has it
here. {An Alexandrian} (Alexandreus). Alexander the Great
founded this city B.C. 332 and placed a colony of Jews there
which flourished greatly, one-third of the population at this
time. There was a great university and library there. The
Jewish-Alexandrian philosophy developed here of which Philo was
the chief exponent who was still living. Apollos was undoubtedly
a man of the schools and a man of parts. {A learned man} (an(8872)
logios). Or eloquent, as the word can mean either a man of words
(like one "wordy," verbose) or a man of ideas, since logos was
used either for reason or speech. Apollos was doubtless both
learned (mighty in the Scriptures) and eloquent, though eloquence
varies greatly in people's ideas. {Mighty in the Scriptures}
(dunatos (936e) en tais graphais). Being powerful (dunatos verbal
of dunamai and same root as dunamis, dynamite, dynamo) in the
Scriptures (in the knowledge and the use of the Scriptures), as
should be true of every preacher. There is no excuse for
ignorance of the Scriptures on the part of preachers, the
professed interpreters of the word of God. The last lecture made
to the New Testament English class in Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary by John A. Broadus was on this passage with
a plea for his students to be mighty in the Scriptures. In
Alexandria Clement of Alexandria and Origen taught in the
Christian theological school.
