and since they had the same trade he stayed with them and they worked together; they were tentmakers by trade.
In context
1After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them, 3and since they had the same trade he stayed with them and they worked together; they were tentmakers by trade. 4Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike. 5When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul gave himself wholly to the message, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
