Aquila (Gk. Ἀκύλας Akúlas) is the name of a man in the Bible. He was a Jew from Rome, who with his wife Prisca or Priscilla had settled in Corinth, where Paul stayed with them (Acts 18:2-3). They became Christians and fellow-workers with Paul, to whom they seem to have shown their devotion in some special way (Rom. 16:3-5). See also Acts 18:18-19; 1 Corinthians 16:19; and 2 Timothy 4:19.
