The tanners' profession was equally disdained by the People of Israel because they dealt with dead animals and urine. Tax collectors were disdained by the Jews in general, because they served the Roman Empire, not their God. Jesus took Matthew, a tax collector by profession, as one of his twelve disciples. He is a guest in the house of Simon the tanner, located in the seacoast.'" ( Acts 10:31-32) He thought God’s gift could be purchased with money (Acts 8:18-20). WITCHCRAFT: the activity of performing magic to help or harm other people. From the very beginning Simon did not understand salvation and did not understand the grace of God. The Bible tells us that witchcraft will be quite prevalent in the end times. Therefore, send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is known as Peter. Simon did not understand salvation or the grace of God. "He said, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayers, and your compassionate acts are like a memorial offering to him. When Peter asked the centurion why he had called for Peter, he answered: Peter then visited Caesarea to meet Cornelius, saw the Holy Spirit descent upon him, and baptised him. Thirdly, at the same time as Cornelius had a vision in Caesarea, Peter also had a vision that he must eat the flesh of clean as well as unclean animals, which he eventually interpreted as having to preach to Jews as well as to the Gentiles. He is a guest of Simon the tanner, whose house is near the seacoast." ( Acts 10:5-6) "Send messengers to Joppa at once and summon a certain Simon, the one known as Peter. Secondly, in Chapter 10:1 Cornelius, a centurion of the Roman army who was stationed at Caesarea, was told by the angel: Peter stayed some time in Joppa with a certain tanner named Simon. Peter visited Jaffa and raised Tabitha from dead. Simon the Tanner is mentioned three times in Chapters 9 and 10 of Acts of the Apostles of the New Testament.įirstly, Chapter 9 is about Paul's conversion and immediately after that, and is mostly about Peter's missionary activities. Simon the Sorcerer’s status was apparently threatened when Philip entered the city and preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God. The traditional site of Simon's house is in the Old City of Jaffa, now part of the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality in Israel. The events at his house are interpreted as leading to the early followers of Jesus opening up their ranks also to the Gentiles, after starting as a Jewish movement. He is believed to be an example of the early Christians embracing people of all professions. Simon the Tanner, who appears in the Acts of the Apostles book of the New Testament, had a house in Jaffa, where Saint Peter stayed during his missionary activities of the early Christian faith.
