In which John and David reflect on Acts 27, the beginning of Paul’s final journey to Rome, and the theological weight of detail, delay, and direction. We talk about Luke’s careful narrative style, Paul’s Spirit-shaped discernment, and the deeper meaning behind the slow progress of the journey. We also explore how translations can help illuminate Scripture, how Paul’s status as a prisoner contrasts with his spiritual authority, and how the narrative echoes the great sea voyages of literature—only here the hero is bound and dependent, not triumphant and free.
