i often wonder this. how wasnt he robbed along the way? how didnt he starve to death. unless he was the calvin klein of tents, surely youd be working all day every day making tents just to survive, leaving no time for your spiritual whitecastle.

It only takes believing in 1 miracle to be able to believe in any of them. It only takes witnessing one miracle to witness many.

In addition to his wages, he had many patrons, church funding, 'stayed with friends', and was transported for 'free' as a Roman prisoner.

I am pretty sure he talks about being robbed and also having times of starvation in one of his letters. I'm guessing his travels weren't very comfortable.
