Asia--not all Asia Minor, but Lydian Asia only, of which Ephesus was the capital.
much--with especial affection.
Aquila . . . Priscilla--(Compare Act 18:2; Rom 16:3-4). Originally driven out of Italy by Claudius, they had come to Corinth (whence their salutation of the Corinthians is appropriate here), and then had removed with Paul from Corinth to Ephesus (Act 18:2, Act 18:18-19, Rom 16:3, Rom 16:5). A pattern to Christian husbands and wives. Their Christian self-devoting love appears wherever they were (Rom 16:3-4). Even the gifted Apollos, so highly admired at Corinth, owed much of his knowledge to them (Act 18:24-26). In Co1 16:20, "All the brethren" (that is, the whole Church) seem to be distinguished from "the church that is in their house," which was but a partial and private assembly out of the general Church at Corinth. NEANDER thinks Rom 16:23 refers to "the whole Church" meeting at the house of Gaius (compare Col 4:15). "Synagogue" implies an assembly in general, without reference to the character or motives of its members. "Church," like the Hebrew Kahal, implies an assembly legally convened; as, for instance, the Jews met as a body politic to receive the law (hence Stephen calls it "the Church in the wilderness," Act 7:38), and having a legal bond of union. Christ's followers when dispersed from one another cease to be a congregation (synagogue), but still are a Church, having the common bond of union to the same Head by the same faith and hope [VITRINGA, Synagogue and Temple]. From this we may explain Paul's entering "into every house and haling men and women": he would in searching for Christians go to their several "houses"' of prayer.
in the Lord--They pray for all blessings on you from the Lord, the source of every good [GROTIUS]. ALFORD explains, "in a Christian manner," as mindful of your common Lord. "In the Lord" seems to me to refer to their union together in Christ, their prayers for one another's good being in virtue of that union. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The churches of Asia - The word "Asia" in the New Testament usually denotes Asia Minor in general; see the note on Act 2:9. It was sometimes used in a more limited sense, to denote the region around Ephesus, and of which Ephesus was the center and capital; see note, Act 16:6. This is the region undoubtedly which is intended here.
Salute you - Greet you; send respectful and affectionate Christian regards; see the note at Rom 16:3.
Aquila and Priscilla - See the note on Act 18:26.
Much in the Lord - With affectionate Christian salutations; or as Christians. Wishing the blessing and favor of the Lord.
With the church that is in their house - See the note at Rom 16:5. |

| Aquila and Priscilla had formerly made some abode at Corinth, and there St. Paul's acquaintance with them began, Act 18:1-2. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Churches of Asia salute you - i.e. The Churches in Asia Minor. Ephesus was in this Asia, and it is clear from this that the apostle was not at Philippi; had he been at Philippi, as the subscription states, he would have said, The Churches of Macedonia, not the Churches of Asia, salute you. How these places lay, in reference to each other, the reader will at once perceive by consulting the map in Acts.
Aquila and Priscilla - Of these eminent persons we have heard before: see Act 18:2, Act 18:18, Act 18:26; and Rom 16:3.
With the Church that is in their house - That is, the company of believers who generally worshipped there. There were no churches or chapels at that time built; and the assemblies of Christians were necessarily held in private houses. It appears that Aquila and Priscilla devoted their house to this purpose. The house of Philemon was of the same kind; Plm 1:2. So was likewise the house of Nymphas, Col 4:15. See the note on Rom 16:5. |
38 This [3778] is he [2076], that was [1096] in [1722] the church [1577] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] with [3326] the angel [32] which [3588] spake [2980] to him [846] in [1722] the mount [3735] Sina [4614], and [2532] with our [2257] fathers [3962]: who [3739] received [1209] the lively [2198] oracles [3051] to give [1325] unto us [2254]:
15 Salute [782] the brethren [80] which are in [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] Nymphas [3564], and [2532] the church [1577] which is in [2596] his [846] house [3624].
23 Gaius [1050] mine [3450] host [3581], and [2532] of the whole [3650] church [1577], saluteth [782] you [5209]. Erastus [2037] the chamberlain [3623] of the city [4172] saluteth [782] you [5209], and [2532] Quartus [2890] a brother [80].
20 All [3956] the brethren [80] greet [782] you [5209]. Greet ye [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370].
24 And [1161] a certain [5100] Jew [2453] named [3686] Apollos [625], born [1085] at Alexandria [221], an eloquent [3052] man [435], and mighty [5607] [1415] in [1722] the scriptures [1124], came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181].
25 This man [3778] was [2258] instructed in [2727] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962]; and [2532] being fervent [2204] in the spirit [4151], he spake [2980] and [2532] taught [1321] diligently [199] the things of [4012] the Lord [2962], knowing [1987] only [3440] the baptism [908] of John [2491].
26 And [5037] he [3778] began [756] to speak boldly [3955] in [1722] the synagogue [4864]: whom [846] when [1161] Aquila [207] and [2532] Priscilla [4252] had heard [191], they took [4355] him [846] unto them, and [2532] expounded [1620] unto him [846] the way [3598] of God [2316] more perfectly [197].

3 Greet [782] Priscilla [4252] and [2532] Aquila [207] my [3450] helpers [4904] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
18 And [1161] Paul [3972] after this tarried [4357] there yet [2089] a good [2425] while [2250], and then took his leave [657] of the brethren [80], and sailed thence [1602] into [1519] Syria [4947], and [2532] with [4862] him [846] Priscilla [4252] and [2532] Aquila [207]; having shorn [2751] his head [2776] in [1722] Cenchrea [2747]: for [1063] he had [2192] a vow [2171].

26 And [5037] he [3778] began [756] to speak boldly [3955] in [1722] the synagogue [4864]: whom [846] when [1161] Aquila [207] and [2532] Priscilla [4252] had heard [191], they took [4355] him [846] unto them, and [2532] expounded [1620] unto him [846] the way [3598] of God [2316] more perfectly [197].
