PER167
The Messiah Jesus withdraws with his disciples
PER167 describes the withdrawal of Jesus and his disciples to Bethsaida to rest after an intense evangelistic mission in Galilee, just before the Passover of April AD 32. The synoptic analysis of Matthew 14,13-14, Mark 6,31-32, Luke 9,10-11 and John 6,1-4 shows points of agreement and nuances: the desire for seclusion, being followed by the crowd, healings and teaching. This episode comes directly before the multiplication of the loaves.
Luke 9.10-11 (King James Version) :And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

PER168
The third Passover feast
Pericope PER168 marks the third Passover feast of the ministry of the Messiah Jesus, dated Monday, April 12, AD 32, and mentioned only by John (Jn 6,4). Located in Galilee near Bethsaida, Jesus and his disciples do not seem to go up to Jerusalem, given the intensity of their activity. This mention serves as a chronological landmark in the synopsis, announcing the events to come up to the Feast of Tabernacles in October AD 32.

Jesus the Messiah Continues His Journey in Galilee
Pericope 205 recounts the extended stay of Jesus the Messiah in Galilee, in the region of Capernaum, for about six months before his final departure for Jerusalem on October 3, AD 32. Only John mentions these journeys and reveals the intention of the religious authorities to put Jesus to death, while his disciples still struggle to understand what awaits him. This passage marks the transition to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.
