Paul of Edessa was
a bishop from the Italian peninsula who left his see and travelled to
Edessa where,
in disguise, he was hired into service as a household servant by John of Edessa, a
priest. The two lived a life of prayer and spiritual companionship. They
travelled to Sinai. Back in Edessa, they interacted with Matthew
the eunuch, a woman hiding in a monastery. They travelled to
Jerusalem.
Paul performed miracles and fled to Nisibis. John found him
there, and Paul told him to return to Edessa. Paul died, and John died 8
months later. The story was set in the time of the Bishop Rabbula.
