'Lodging' in the Bible
Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.”
He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
They called out, asking if Simon, who was also named Peter, was lodging there.
Peter then invited them in and gave them lodging.The next day he got up and set out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
Therefore send someone to Joppa and invite Simon here, who is also named Peter. He is lodging in Simon the tanner’s house by the sea.’
After arranging a day with him, many came to him at his lodging. From dawn to dusk he expounded and witnessed about the kingdom of God. He tried to persuade them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
