Question: What was the trade or profession of Priscilla’s husband?
Answer: Tent-maker. (Acts 18:2-3, NASB)
Comments: Aquila and Priscilla were missionaries and associates of Paul. Like Paul, by trade, they were tentmakers.
And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them, and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers. (Acts 18:2-3, NASB)
In deference to this passage, today, the term "tentmaker" is used for bivocational ministers.
