Ananias the old
From the same village of fishermen as Solomon the ferry-man, at the Jordain Ford. A devoted man, afflicted with cataracts, thrown out onto the street, he had been living alone for a few months. His son, who supported him, had died, and his daughter-in-law had returned to her home, taking her grandchildren, Ananias and Saul, and selling the house, thus forcing Ananias onto the street. Jesus healed him and entrusted him with the mission of maintaining the house that Solomon had given them for the needs of the Mission.
"Ah! son, son! Be good, you who follow Him! Be good, good, good! Ah! What a gift the Lord has given you! What a gift! What a gift!"He soon dies:
"Death took him like this... He was smiling... He was in Peace... Oh! What a face of a just man he had! He even appeared more beautiful."[1]
