What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus." To the excellence of these St. Luke also bears witness. Partly when he says that Paul "abode with them, for by their occupation they were tent-makers"; and partly when he points out the woman as receiving Apollos, and instructing him in the way of the Lord. Now these are great things, but what Paul mentions are greater. And what does he mention? In the first place he calls them "helpers," to point out that they had been sharers of his very great labors and dangers. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
They, he says, helped me in word and teaching and shared with me labors and dangers. Some supposed that these co-workers were Paul's helpers in tent-making (Acts 18:3).
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he recommends other persons connected with him to be greeted, saying: greet Prisca and Aquila, who was her husband, but he mentions her first, perhaps because of the greater devotion of her faith, my helpers in Christ, i.e., in preaching the faith of Christ. For he stayed with them in Corinth, as is found in Acts (Acts 18:1–3).
