“And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.”
Then he left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God (sebomenos ton theon, a God-fearer) — The shift from synagogue to private household, while remaining adjacent, permits continued Jewish encounter while establishing gentile-centered community. Titius Justus's theism bridges Jewish and gentile worlds.
