James, Simeon, Joses and Pheodora left Nazareth to visit Chiram in prison. She carried a basket containing dried fish, bread and figs. When she finally saw her husband, she did not recognize him.

" Hello my husband". She smiled and held his hand. " We have brought food for you".

" Pheodora". He gave her a weak grin. " I can't believe you came".

" The goats have given birth".

Chiram stared at Pheodora's brothers. " Any news about Yeshua?".

Simeon frowned. " The religious leaders call him a rabble rouser".

James spoke up. " I wanted to ask you about a rumor I heard".

" What rumor is that?".

" Your father was one of the shepherds watching the flocks the night Yeshua was born".

" It's true". Chiram scratched his chin. " He was there".

Joses grinned. " This was by Bethlehem".

" Yes". Chiram sighed. " I was seven years old".

Pheodora thought for a moment. " That would make my oldest brother 33 years old".

" Yes".
