Priscilla and Aquila page 1 by ric gustafson
Aquila walked with his uncle down the dirty Rome street. He loved looking at the lavish buildings and shops. He hated seeing all the beggars and the filth of the city. He and his uncle had left their lodging and were now walking toward the Campi synagogue. They were to meet Rufus. When they reached their destination, their friend was waiting for them.
Benyamin embraced their friend. " It's been too long".
" You look well".
Benyamin pointed to Aquila. " You remember my nephew".
Aquila grinned at the light brown skinned man. " Your father carried Jesus's cross".
" Yes". He pointed at his chest. " Last time I saw you you were this high".
Aquila and Rufus embraced.
Rufus smiled. He pointed toward the entrance of the synagogue. " Shall we go in?".
