Priscilla, along with her husband, taught a man.
Now, it would seem that if Paul really believed and taught that a woman should not teach a man, does not it make good sense that Priscilla, having him around him both day and night for one year and six months (
Acts 18:1 1), would have known that it was not the perfect plan of God to have done such a "hideous" deed? Would not she have backed off and either verbally or quietly made it known to her husband that to explain the Gospel to a man was her husband's job alone?
"Aquila, go talk to him man to man. You know that is Paul's way. That's the perfect way. I'll go home and throw something in the microwave."
No, the opposite is true. Priscilla caught the true spirit of Paul, which was the true spirit of God. In Christ, there is no male or female. The cross brings equality to all. She was accustomed to ministering and working alongside her husband, and they both brought a life-changing word to him.
Later, Paul referred to them in the last chapters of Romans and I Corinthians. In Romans, he puts Priscilla first; in I Corinthians, Aquila. They evidently had an equal anointing and ability to teach, a model of husband and wife ministry. Never do we hear him saying something like, "Now church, beware. Priscilla likes to teach men. And you know I don't condone that." No, he gave her honor and recognized the validity of her ministry, even stating that all the churches of the Gentiles gave thanks for her (
Rom. 16:4). He gave them equal footing with himself, calling them fellow laborers. (copied)
