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.

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

so hes either walking around with wads of cash or hes got a lot of friends along the way, but he did something like 10k miles, hed need a lot of friends. And also whats stopping a bandit taking all the cash?

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.

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.
