To use the words of his friend Paulinus, he broke with his father, followed Christ, and set the teachings of the "fishermen" far above all his "Tullian learning."
Menggunakan kata-kata temannya Paulinus, ia memutuskan hubungan dengan ayahnya, mengikuti Kristus, dan menetapkan ajaran "nelayan" jauh di atas semua "pelajaran Tullian."
