Exegesis
The main verb enebibasen {ἐνεβίβασεν | e-ne-bí-ba-sen} ‘put on board’ takes hemas {ἡμᾶς | hē-mâs} ‘us’ as its direct object and is completed by the prepositional phrase eis auto {εἰς αὐτό | eis au-tó} ‘into it’, marking movement onto the ship. Luke’s paratactic style is maintained, with the centurion’s authority and the travel transition presented succinctly.
