Who were the tentmakers who assisted Paul at Corinth?

• A. Aquila and Priscilla
• B. Timothy and Silas
• C. Peter and John
• D. Philip and Peres

Answer: (A)

The tentmakers who assisted Paul at Corinth were Aquila and Priscilla. In Acts 18, Paul supports himself by tentmaking in Corinth and is joined by this married Jewish couple, who had recently moved there from Italy. Because they shared the same trade, they worked alongside him and opened their home to him, providing practical support and hospitality that enabled Paul to focus on ministry. Aquila and Priscilla became important coworkers and later even helped instruct others, such as Apollos, in the faith. This example shows how ordinary work can serve gospel goals when believers collaborate, serve with hospitality, and use their gifts together. The other names listed are associated with Paul in different contexts and do not reflect the Corinthian tentmaking partnership.
