The ministry of John the Baptist

  • PER035 Jesus the Messiah’s encounter with Nathanael

    Pericope 35 studies the meeting between Jesus and Nathanael, unique to John’s Gospel (John 1:47–51), dated to 23 November 29 at Nazareth. Jesus demonstrates supernatural knowledge of Nathanael, who becomes the first to confess him publicly as the Son of God and King of Israel. Identified with Bartholomew and originally from Cana, Nathanael is connected with the wedding at Cana that follows in John’s narrative.

    John 1.49 (King James Version) :
    Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

  • PER037 A visit to Capernaum

    After the wedding at Cana, Jesus the Messiah visits Capernaum with his family around 1 December 29. Only John reports this episode (John 2:12). He meets his disciples Peter, Andrew, James and John there and befriends Zebedee and Salome. This town later becomes the headquarters of his Galilean ministry. After this visit, he returns to Nazareth before joining John the Baptist at Aenon.

    John 3.22-24 (King James Version) :
    After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.For John was not yet cast into prison.

  • PER038 The first Passover festival

    Pericope PER038 analyses the first Passover festival in John’s Gospel (John 2:13), dated precisely to 7 April 30. The article makes three observations: the festival’s chronological value for dating Jesus’ ministry over three and a half years, John’s distinction of the ‘Passover of the Jews’, and Jesus’ observance of Jewish rites. John alone records this period before John the Baptist’s arrest.

    John 5.1 (King James Version) :
    After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Miracles

  • MIR001 Water turned into wine at Cana

    Cet article explore le premier miracle de Jésus relaté dans Jean 2.1-11. Lors des noces de Cana, Jésus transforme de l'eau en vin, révélant sa nature divine et inaugurant son ministère. Marie joue un rôle clé en sollicitant l'aide de Jésus. Ce miracle symbolise la transition d'une ancienne à une nouvelle alliance de grâce, illustrant la générosité divine et renforçant la foi des disciples.

    John 2.1-11 (King James Version) :
    And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

  • MIR002 Healing of a royal official’s son

    Jean 4,46-54 raconte la guérison du fils d'un fonctionnaire royal à Cana. Le miracle, accompli par Jésus avec une simple parole, illustre la foi et la puissance divine, renforçant la conviction du fonctionnaire et de sa famille. Cette histoire met en avant l'importance de la foi avant même de voir des miracles.

    John 2.1-11 (King James Version) :
    And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
