Enoch Wan. Apollos was a Jewish scholar from the outstanding cultural center of Alexandria. He knew the Scriptures well, taught about Jesus accurately and preached the Word passionately and publicly. However, his knowledge of baptism was found to be deficient, limited to the baptism of John. This inadequate understanding (hereafter as “Apollos’ blind spot”) hindered his ministry. Later, it was corrected by the personal coaching of Priscilla and Aquila who was a “lay-couple,” refugees from Rome.
