The Word At Work

Acts 18:1-4

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. (NIVUK)

After Paul left Athens - the intellectual capital of Greece, he travelled east to Corinth - the trading capital of Achaia province, in the south of Greece. We do not know how he travelled; either some 60 miles overland or by sea. His ministry team of Silas and Timothy were still in Berea on the west coast of Greece (Acts 17:14-15). On arriving in Corinth, Paul went to the marketplace. There, he found a married couple who were both working as tentmakers: probably with a workshop at street level with living accommodation above.
