Departure for Bethany beyond the Jordan
The study recounts Jesus’ journey from Jerusalem to Bethany, with stops at Bethany beyond the Jordan and Jericho, where he performs miracles. Deliberately delayed, Jesus arrives and raises Lazarus, triggering a reaction from the religious authorities.
John 10.40-42 (King James Version) :And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.And many believed on him there.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Jesus’ meeting with Peter?
Article CTD013 addresses a classic objection: where did Jesus first meet Peter and Andrew? Matthew places the encounter in Galilee, John on the banks of the Jordan. The article demonstrates that these are two distinct stages: an initial encounter in Judea (John), followed by a definitive call in Galilee (Matthew). The two accounts are complementary, not contradictory, and illustrate the gradual development of the disciples' calling.
John 1.41-42 (King James Version) :He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
