    The article discusses Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at Sychar, emphasising its importance in his Galilean ministry. The village’s conversion illustrates Jesus’ universal message.

    John 4.27-42 (King James Version) :
    And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.And many more believed because of his own word;And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

  • The king’s officer at Cana in Galilee

    Pericope 53 recounts the miracle Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee for a royal officer who came from Capernaum because of his sick son (John 4:46–54). Dated to February–March 31, this episode is the second Johannine sign performed at Cana. The officer’s identity remains uncertain, but the author favours Roman origins, illustrating the universality of salvation in John’s theology. This man must not be confused with the centurion in pericope 110.

    John 4.46-54 (King James Version) :
    So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.

From the second to the third Passover festival

  • Jesus the Messiah rebukes several towns

    Jesus rebukes the towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum for their failure to repent despite the many miracles performed in them. He compares them unfavourably with the pagan cities of Tyre, Sidon and even Sodom, declaring that those cities would have repented. This passage emphasises responsibility in proportion to the revelation received and the eternal stakes of rejecting the Gospel.

    Matthew 8.14-15 (King James Version) :
    And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

Ministère de Pierre

  • The Gospel in Samaria

    Après la mort d'Étienne, la persécution disperse les croyants de Jérusalem qui, partout où ils vont, annoncent l'Évangile. Philippe se rend en Samarie et y prêche avec puissance. Luc montre que cette dispersion accomplit le programme missionnaire annoncé par Jésus en Actes 1.8. La Samarie, longtemps séparée d'Israël, reçoit enfin la Bonne Nouvelle. Philippe, l'un des Sept, devient le premier évangéliste officiellement désigné du Nouveau Testament.

    Acts 21.8 (King James Version) :
    And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
