Solomon the ferry-man
Ferry from the surroundings of Jericho, at the ford of the Jordan, where John the Baptist baptized. He ferried those who came to him for free as a personal contribution to the work of conversion.
He lives in a fisherman's hut on the east bank of the Jordan, and gives his house to Jesus as a shelter and as a possible refuge[1] which He will later use. This house shelters Ananias, the rejected old man, but also Joseph of Joseph and Elijah wounded and persecuted."Your house serves to do a lot of Good" Jesus told him.It is as a neighbor that Solomon is found in the apostolate of the Jericho region and that he becomes involved in the case of the prophetess Sabea.[2]
Apostolic Path

I tell you: it is not only Abraham, but the God of Abraham who will smile at your death as at a faithful son."[5]
