Act 11:28
  Interlinear
One of them, named Agabus, stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a severe famine would strike the whole world [the Roman Empire] – it also came during the reign of Claudius.
Act 18:2
  Interlinear
In Corinth, Paul met a jew named Aquila, born in Pontus [a Roman province on the Black Sea], and his wife Priscilla. [Her more formal name was "Prisca," see Rom. 16:3.] The couple had recently arrived from Italy, because [the fourth Roman emperor] Claudius [reigned 41-54 CE] had ordered all Jews to leave Rom.
[The married couple Aquila and Priscilla are always mentioned together, see Rom. 16:3; 1 Cor. 16:19; 2 Tim. 4:19. Four out of six times, the wife, Priscilla, is mentioned first. They had recently arrived from Rom because Claudius had expelled all Jews from there. This is probably the same event mentioned by the Roman historian Suetonius, where the Jews were expelled due to unrest caused by a certain "Chrestus," which is the Latin name for Christ. This happened in the ninth year of Claudius' reign, i.e. sometime between January 49 and January 50 AD. Paul therefore cannot have come to Corinth before 49 AD.]
Paul came into contact with them [visited their home].
