Well, no, that is neither well know or really evidenced. Gill of course is another asppologist, making stuff up and rewriting the Bible.
The biblical text seems pretty clear to me. Maybe a more modern translation would help. Here's the NET Bible:
quote:
Acts 18:3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with them (for they were tentmakers by trade).
Also look a bit later in Acts:
quote:
Acts 20:33 I have desired no one’s silver or gold or clothing.
Acts 20:34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.
According to the book of Acts, Paul worked for a living.

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." — Albert Einstein
I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives us a lot of factual information, puts all of our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously. — Erwin Schroedinger
