2 Timothy 4:19 - Exposition

House for household, A.V. Prisca and Aquila. Prisca is elsewhere always called Priscilla ( Acts 18:2 , Acts 18:18 , Acts 18:26 ; Romans 16:3 ; 1 Corinthians 16:19 ). A similar variation of names is seen in Drusa and Drusilla, Livia and Livella, etc. She is named before her husband, as here in Acts 18:18 ; Romans 16:3 . The mention of them here is in favour of Timothy being at Ephesus at this time, as Ephesus is one of the places where they were wont to sojourn ( Acts 18:19 , Acts 18:26 ). The house (as in A.V. Romans 1:16 ) of Onesiphorus (see Romans 1:16 , Romans 1:18 , note). This repetition of the "house of Onesiphorus" is almost conclusive as to the recent death of Onesiphorus himself.
