As Paul descended into the bustling, cultural city of Corinth he saw the temple to Aphrodite and the broken state of the people, he also met a Jewish couple named Aquila and Priscilla. They shared the same occupation and quickly became friends. Every day, Paul would go into the synagogues and marketplaces where he would preach about Jesus. The Jews mocked him, but the Greeks and citizens of Corinth welcomed him gladly.
