The ministry of John the Baptist

  • 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 1.47-51 (King James Version) :
    Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

The beginning of the ministry in Galilee

  • 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.

Miracles

  • 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.

    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 20.30-31 (King James Version) :
    And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
