Simon the Tanner (New Testament)

"(About Dorcas) And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. So it was that he (Saint Peter) stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner."

"(Cornelius the Centurion) “What is it, lord?”"

"So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God. Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.’"
