Oh, but before you said some words are not always a strict usage, like the "men" word.
I knew it says
they, but you must
keep in within he cultural morays, the man would not sit there and let the woman teach another man.
Especially because Apollos was a respected man, maybe had some stature, educated, he was no common guy. Highly unlikely in their culture, the husband would subordinate himself, while the wife took over. Did she maybe share a bit, fine, but she was subordinate in their marriage, that is just the way it was then. It would be odd for her to teach, and the husband just quietly sitting there, that is not how it was then.
24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was
an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures.
