The return of the apostles
Après leur mission d'évangélisation en Galilée, les apôtres reviennent auprès de Jésus et lui rendent compte de leur activité. Marc souligne leur épuisement et le besoin de repos dans un lieu désert, tandis que Luc précise que le retrait s'effectue vers Bethsaïda. Cette péricope met en lumière la compassion de Jésus envers ses disciples, l'importance du repos dans le ministère et la pratique de la reddition de compte apostolique. L'événement se situe en Galilée en mars 32.

The multiplication of the loaves for the 5,000 people
The feeding of the 5,000 is a miracle attested to by all four evangelists, which took place near Bethsaida in April of the year 32. With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed a vast crowd, demonstrating his divine power and his shepherd’s compassion, and foreshadowing the Eucharist. The twelve remaining baskets symbolize the abundance of the Kingdom of God.
John 6.1-14 (King James Version) :After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
