sisters of Jesus page 6 by ric gustafson
Pheodora stopped the donkey.
" That is Caesarea". James pointed. " Where does this person with the goats live?".
" His name is Nathan ben Abram". She thought for a moment. " I'm not sure where he lives".
After a while, they walked up to a tax collectors booth.
A little man walked out. " Come". He smiled. " I will not keep you long".
" I am James ben Joseph". His voice hesitated. " I am traveling from Nazareth with my sister".
The man looked at the donkey. " Is your donkey carrying goods for sale?".
" No". James shook his head. " Only food and water".
" What about your donkey and blankets?".
" We are using the blankets and the donkey is borrowed".
He squinted his eyes. " Then why are you traveling?".
" We are going to pick up some livestock".
" Then you will have taxable goods".
" Yes".
" Good". He waved them off. " Off with you then".
