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.
Matthew 14.34-36 (King James Version) :And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Teaching of the Messiah Jesus about the bread of life
John 6.22-59 records Jesus’ discourse on the bread of life, delivered in the synagogue of Capernaum on a Sabbath in May AD 32. After the multiplication of the loaves, Jesus reveals himself as the 'bread of life', inviting the crowd to believe in him in order to obtain eternal life. This passage, found only in John, displays a major christological and eucharistic richness, in the face of the incomprehension and murmuring of his hearers.
John 6.35-40 (King James Version) :And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Le concile de Nicée
Le Premier Concile de Nicée (325 ap. J.-C.), convoqué par l'empereur Constantin, a réuni les évêques de l'Empire romain pour résoudre la controverse arienne. Il a affirmé la consubstantialité du Christ avec le Père, adopté le Symbole de Nicée encore utilisé aujourd'hui, fixé la date de Pâques et renforcé l'alliance entre l'Église et l'Empire romain, posant ainsi les fondements doctrinaux et liturgiques du christianisme.
