Editing Apollos (section)

==Significance==
[[Martin Luther]] and some modern scholars have proposed Apollos as the author of the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]], rather than [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] or [[Barnabas]].<ref name="EB1911"/> Both Apollos and Barnabas were Jewish Christians with sufficient intellectual authority.<ref>''The NIV study bible, new international version''; English (UK) edition; London, Hodder & Stoughton, 1987; p.1817.</ref> The [[Pulpit Commentary]] treats Apollos' authorship of Hebrews as "generally believed".<ref>[http://biblehub.com/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/3.htm Pulpit Commentary on I Corinthians 3], accessed 19 March 2017</ref> Other than this, there are no known surviving texts attributed to Apollos.

Apollos is regarded as a saint by several Christian churches, including the [[Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod]], which hold a commemoration for him, together with saints [[Aquila and Priscilla]], on 13 February. Apollos is considered one of the 70 apostles<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2009/03/30/100947-apostle-apollos-of-the-seventy|title=Apostle Apollos of the Seventy|website=www.oca.org}}</ref> and his feast day is December 8 in the Eastern Orthodox church.

Apollos is not to be confused with [[Abib and Apollo|St. Apollo of Egypt]], a monk who died in 395 and whose feast day is January 25.<ref>{{cite web |title=St. Apollo |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=1493 |website=catholic.org |publisher=Catholic Online}}</ref> Apollos does not have a feast day of his own in the traditional Roman Martyrology, nor is he reputed to have ever been a monk (as most monks come after [[St. Anthony the Great]]).
