  • 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 21.2 (King James Version) :
    There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

  • PER172 The reaction of the apostles

    Pericope 172 recounts the reaction of the apostles after Jesus walked on the water and calmed the storm. Set at Gennesaret in April AD 32, the episode is reported by Matthew and Mark. The disciples bow down and proclaim: 'You are truly the Son of God', marking a decisive step in their faith and in the progressive Christological revelation of the Gospels.

    Mark 8.29 (King James Version) :
    And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

The last week before the arrest

  • PER291 The parable of the vinedressers

    The parable of the vinedressers (Matt 21.33-46; Mark 12.1-12; Luke 20.9-19), spoken on Holy Tuesday in the courtyard of the Temple, illustrates the history of salvation allegorically: God sends prophets and then his Son, whom the religious leaders reject and kill. The vineyard is transferred to the Church, without however closing the door to the Jewish people, who can enter into the faith.

    Mark 12.1-12 (King James Version) :
    And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

The last day up to the crucifixion

  • PER348 Pilate’s Efforts to Save Jesus

    The pericope PER348 examines Pontius Pilate’s repeated attempts to save Jesus during the trial before the praetorium in Jerusalem, on a Friday morning. Based mainly on John 19.4-15, it traces the political and religious pressures that lead Pilate to condemn Jesus despite his conviction of his innocence. This passage reveals the tension between justice, political power and religious authority during the Passion of Christ.

    Mark 14.11-15 (King James Version) :
    And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

Contradictions

  • CTD042 What does the centurion say when Jesus dies?

    L'article explore l'apparente contradiction dans les Évangiles concernant les paroles du centurion à la mort de Jésus. Tandis que Luc insiste sur l'innocence, Marc souligne la reconnaissance de Jésus comme Fils de Dieu. Ces perspectives révèlent la pluralité théologique des Évangiles, rendant compte de l'innocence de Jésus et de sa mort salvatrice. Les évangélistes rapportent des paroles significatives selon leurs objectifs théologiques.

    John 21.25 (King James Version) :
    And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
