Apollos walked into Ephesus with a resume most preachers would envy. Alexandria-trained, eloquent, fervent in spirit, competent in the Scriptures. The man could preach. He could argue from the Old Testament with precision and bold conviction. And he still had stuff to learn. Luke slips in the qualifier almost casually: he knew only the baptism of John. His syllabus stopped short of the cross, the resurrection, the Spirit. Priscilla and Aquila heard the gap and took him aside privately. Two tentmakers correcting the most eloquent voice in the room. Apollos listened. He didn't pull rank or get defensive. He let them fill in what his Alexandrian training had missed, then crossed over to Corinth and became one of the most powerful voices in the early church. Talent without teachability is a ceiling.
