Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Apelles.--This name is also found among the dependents of the emperor. Horace, in the well-known phrase, "Credat Judaeas Apella" (Ep. 1, v. 100) takes it as a typical Jewish name.Approved in Christ.--Whose fidelity to Christ has been tried, and has stood the test.Aristobulus' household.--Aristobulus, a grandson of Herod the Great, was educated and lived in a private station at Rome. From the friendly terms on which he stood with the Emperor Claudius, it seems not unlikely that, by a somewhat common custom, his household may have been transferred to the emperor at his death. In that case, his slaves would be designated by a term such as we find in the Greek.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekGreetἈσπάσασθε (Aspasasthe)Verb - Aorist Imperative Middle - 2nd Person PluralStrong's 782: To greet, salute, pay my respects to, welcome.
