Station: [17] Paul's Craft

Awnings! Are you looking for an awning? I have some made of linen here, or these ones—they’re made of goat hair. What do you need them for? For a market stall, you say? I have some right here. Are you new here in Antioch? You live right on the Orontes—a beautiful river. The third-largest city after Rome and Alexandria—yes, you can really feel it. Half a million citizens, they say. I’m not from here either. I come from the opposite direction, from Tarsus. What—you know Barnabas? He brought me here from Tarsus to help build up the church of Jesus Christ here. “Christians,” you say? I’ve never heard that term before. “Do I smell that good?” that you call us “the Anointed Ones”? Yes, we have a good fellowship here among Jewish brothers and sisters, non-Jews, slaves, and free people.
