Storia
Caleb, a small-time thief and self-proclaimed magician living in Galilee during Jesus' time, becomes jealous when he witnesses Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast. He sees Jesus as a rival and tries to outdo him by stealing a valuable necklace but ends up losing it. He then meets Deborah with whom he shares his life. Throughout the story, Caleb remains fascinated by Jesus, still believing him to be a more skilled magician than himself. Ultimately, Caleb is accused of an old theft and crucified alongside Jesus.
