Paul leaves Athens and ventures on to Corinth where he meets Aquila and his wife Priscilla. It’s noted that they are tent-makers, which brings up an interesting aspect of Paul’s life that we don’t often consider. Paul was a tentmaker by trade, and while he often received financial help and contributions, he had a job by which he made a living. Aquila and Priscilla were also tentmakers, so they became fast friends and began working together. After an initial attempt to witness to the Jews in Corinth, Paul turns away from his fellow Hebrews and instead focuses on preaching to the Gentiles. The Corinthian church multiplies under Paul and he stays in the city for a year and a half. At the end of our reading, Paul and his friends venture to Antioch where they meet Apollos.
