Among the Jews who took up their residence here were many who were innocent of the wrongs that prevailed among them as a people. Of this class were Aquila and Priscilla, who afterward became distinguished as believers in Christ. Paul, becoming acquainted with the character of these excellent persons, abode with them; and having in his youth learned their trade of making tents, which were much used in that warm climate, he worked at this business for his own support. {LP 99.3}

Blandt de jøder som bosatte sig her var mange uvidne om de vildfarelser, der herskede iblandt dem som et folk. Af denne klasse var Akavila og Priska, som senere blev anset for at være troende i Kristus. Da Paulus blev bekendt med disse fremragende personers karakter, blev han hos dem; og hade lært deres erhverv som teltmagere i deres ungdom, som var meget anvendte i dette varme klima, arbejdede han i denne forretning for at underholde sig selv.
