[For description of Jaffa, see Universal Gazetteer.] Simon the Tanner formerly lived here.

Peter saw the vision of the beasts let down in a sheet when he lay upon the roof of Simon the Tanner's house.

It was from Jaffa that Jonah sailed when he was told to go and prophesy against Nineveh, and no doubt it was not far from the town that the whale threw him up when he discovered that he had no ticket.
