Solomon the ferry-man
Ferryman 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.
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.[3]
Apostolic Path
One of the seventy-two disciples of Jesus sent "two by two" in September 28.[4] He is among those who are active in organizing the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.[5]

"You possess the wisdom for judging that who cooperates to a purification must not corrupt it with money. I tell you that not only Abraham, but the God of Abraham will smile at you as at a faithful son, when you die.[6]
