The beginning of the preaching in Galilee
Pericope PER052 marks the official beginning of Jesus’ preaching in Galilee after John the Baptist’s arrest. Matthew emphasises continuity between John’s message and Jesus’ message, both calling for repentance. This decisive turning point, placed in Capernaum around February–March 31, confirms the fulfilment of messianic prophecies and Jesus’ full entry into his public ministry.
Matthew 4.17 (King James Version) :From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Qumran Region
Qumran, located on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in the West Bank, is a major archaeological site founded between 134 and 104 BC under John Hyrcanus. Associated with the Essenes, it is best known for the discovery in 1947 of the Dead Sea Scrolls in its caves. The excavations of Roland de Vaux revealed cisterns, ritual baths and communal rooms. The site was destroyed by the Romans in AD 68 during the First Jewish–Roman War.

The Essenes
The Essenes were an ascetic Jewish sect of the 2nd century BC, known for their strict communal life, ritual purity and devotion to the Scriptures. Associated with the site of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947, they disappeared after the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, leaving a major textual and spiritual legacy for understanding ancient Judaism and the origins of Christianity.
