The grandeur of steering a mighty vessel, cutting through waters with precision, was my calling. It was a responsibility that weighed heavily upon me, especially as I maneuvered the ship through the treacherous autumn waves. My knowledge came not just from experience, but from the stories and skills passed down by generations of my family. We, the Sea People, have mastered the vast expanse of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas for over fifteen centuries.
Yet, this journey was like no other. Hopping on midway from the small port of Sidon was a curious crew: a Centurion and his intriguing prisoner, Paul. Paul was different, he commanded a certain respect, even from the Centurion, and he was surrounded by a devoted entourage. Among them, I formed an unexpected friendship with Dr. Luke, who shared with me tales of the Gospel and of Paul's miraculous deeds.
