The man with the unclean spirit
The article examines the episode in which Jesus encounters a possessed man in the synagogue in Capernaum. Through his word, he frees the man, shocking the witnesses and strengthening recognition of his divine authority. The event marks a turning point in his reputation in the region, illustrating his dominion over unclean spirits.
Luke 4.33-36 (King James Version) :And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The healing of the man with the paralysed hand
Pericope 77 recounts the healing of a man with a paralysed hand in the synagogue in Capernaum on a Sabbath in AD 31. Reported by Matthew, Mark and Luke, this episode reveals the growing tension between Jesus and the Pharisees. Seeking to accuse him, they refuse to see the miracles performed. The year AD 31 ends with a break between Jesus and the Jewish religious authorities.
Matthew 12.9-13 (King James Version) :And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The interrupted healing of Jairus' daughter
La péricope 153 relate le début de l'épisode de la fille de Jaïrus à Capernaüm (février-mars 32). Dirigeant de synagogue, Jaïrus supplie Jésus de guérir sa fille unique de 12 ans. Mais Jésus, retardé par la foule, n'arrive pas à temps : la fillette décède. Ce récit synoptique (Mt 9.18-19 ; Mc 5.21-24 ; Lc 8.40-42) soulève la question de la foi de Jaïrus face à l'épreuve de la mort.
Matthew 9.18-19 (King James Version) :While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Return to Nazareth
Jesus’ second return to Nazareth (March 32) is recounted by Matthew and Mark. Despite his teachings in the synagogue, the townspeople rejected him because they knew him and his family so well. Their lack of faith limited his miracles. Jesus utters the famous saying: “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country.” Mark adds details missing from Matthew: the presence of the disciples and Jesus’ astonishment at their unbelief.
Mark 6.5 (King James Version) :And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Healing of a woman on the Sabbath
Pericope 231 recounts Jesus’ healing of a woman who had been crippled for eighteen years, on a Sabbath in a synagogue in Jerusalem (Luke 13.10-17). This act provokes the indignation of the religious authorities, whom Jesus confounds by pointing out their contradictions. The crowd, for its part, marvels and glorifies God. The episode illustrates the tension between Pharisaic tradition and the authentic application of God’s law, while highlighting this woman’s persevering faith.
Luke 6.6-11 (King James Version) :And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The mustard seed and the leaven
Pericope PER232 presents the twin parables of the mustard seed and the leaven (Luke 13.18-21). Spoken near a synagogue in Jerusalem on a Saturday, they illustrate the nature of the kingdom of God: it begins humbly, grows powerfully and works in a hidden yet transforming way. These two complementary images invite us to perceive the quiet and irresistible growth of God's reign in the world.
Luke 13.18-21 (King James Version) :Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Une genizah
Une genizah est un espace réservé dans une synagogue pour stocker temporairement des documents et objets sacrés juifs devenus inutilisables. Ces objets, comme les rouleaux de Torah ou les livres de prière, sont ensuite enterrés dans un cimetière. La Genizah du Caire, découverte au XIXe siècle dans la synagogue Ben Ezra, est la plus célèbre, contenant des centaines de milliers de fragments de documents couvrant plus d'un millénaire d'histoire juive.
