Prisca, also known as Priscilla, was one of the earliest evangelists of Jesus Christ.
In the book of Acts, Prisca and her husband Aquila were among the Christian expelled from Rome by the Emperor Claudius in the year 49. Prisca and Aquila ended up in Corinth (Greece). St. Paul lived with Prisca and Aquila for approximately 18 months before the three of them went to Syria, but stopped at Ephesus (Turkey).
In Ephesus they met a powerful evangelist named Apollos. He "taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Prisca and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the Way of God to him more accurately."
Prisca and her husband are the earliest known teachers of Christian theology after Paul (and Jesus).
In 1 Corinthians, Paul passes on the greetings of Prisca and Aquila to their friends in Corinth, implying that the couple were traveling with him. Paul founded the church in Corinth around the year 51. This makes it clear that Prisca and Aquila were two of the church's other founders.
In the book of Romans which was written in the year 56 or 57, Paul sends his greeting to Prisca and Aquila and notes that both of them "risked their necks" to save his life. It appears that they had returned home after the death of Claudius.
