After preparing their luggage for the camel caravan, they passed on down to Sidon and thence over to Damascus and after three days they made ready for the long trek across the desert sands.
The caravan trip across the desert was not a new experience for these much-traveled men. After Ganid had watched his teacher help with the loading of their twenty camels and observed him volunteer to drive their own animal, he exclaimed, “Teacher, is there anything that you cannot do?” Jesus only smiled, saying, “The teacher surely is not without honor in the eyes of a diligent pupil." And so they set forth for the ancient city of Ur. ~ The Urantia Book,133:8.4
