Godbey's Commentary - Acts - Romans - Enter His Rest

27. Now, doubtless encouraged by Aquila and Priscilla, he proceeds at once to cross the Ægean
Sea to Europe, where he is so much needed, at this time to fill the vacancy created by Paul, who has
returned to Asia on a vast tour, visiting all the churches in the interest of their sanctification.
28. “For he powerfully argued down the Jews, showing conclusively by the Scriptures that Jesus
is the Christ.” Apollos, before his sanctification, eclipsed all by his native eloquence, electrified by
his warm heart, filled with regenerating grace. Since he is sanctified, the burning pathos and
Pentecostal Niagara of this mighty and abiding fiery baptism, added to his native eloquence, literally
transforms the man into a cyclone of fire, bearing down everything in its wake, thus becoming a sunburst
on the gospel churches of Europe and Asia.
