                    In hagiography: John of Edessa was a priest
            from Edessa who nourished 12 holy
                        men in a cave. He became friends with Paul of Edessa, his workman, who was actually a Latin bishop in
          disguise. 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 of Edessa.
                    
                        
                            John of Edessa is commemorated in Paul the bishop and John the priest (text).
