[Video Correction]
In this video I overlooked Acts 18:18. This means Priscilla is mentioned 6 times and appears before her husband 4/6 times. "After staying there for a considerable time, Paul said farewell to the believers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had his hair cut, for he was under a vow" (Acts 18:18). Special thanks to Marg Mowczko for pointing this out shortly after it was published. See her work listed below.
