The parable of the leaven
The parable of the leaven (Mt 13.33-35; Lk 13.20-21) illustrates the quiet but powerful growth of the kingdom of God. Just as leaven transforms all the dough, the kingdom works gradually in people's hearts. Matthew links this teaching to the fulfillment of Psalm 78.2. Every believer is called to play an active role in this spread. Delivered near Capernaum around November–December 31, it is the fourth parable in the great discourse of Matthew 13.
Matthew 13.33-35 (King James Version) :Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Messiah Jesus and his disciples sing the psalms
The article examines the singing of the psalms by Jesus and his disciples after the Passover. Rooted in Jewish tradition, this moment takes on a particular spiritual significance for Jesus, as a prelude to his crucifixion.

PER372
The Appearance of the Messiah Jesus to Peter
The appearance of the risen Jesus to Simon Peter is attested by Luke 24.34 and 1 Corinthians 15.3-5, but no evangelist describes its content. Set on Sunday, April 3, AD 33, after the appearances to the women and before that to the Emmaus disciples, this private encounter appears to be a personal reconciliation between Jesus and Peter after his denial. Peter would thus have been the first apostle to see the risen Lord.
John 20.11-18 (King James Version) :But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
Doctrines of the Bible

The Doctrine of God
This article highlights the importance of the doctrine of God in Christian theology, addressing who God is and how he reveals himself to human beings. The knowledge of God comes from creation, from the moral conscience, and above all from Jesus Christ. This study encourages a life of worship and faith.
Psalms 19.2-5 (King James Version) :Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.Notewhere…: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heardTheir line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,Noteline: or, rule, or, directionWhich is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Jesus as the ransom?
L'article analyse la notion de rançon dans la Bible et réfute les contradictions apparentes. Il différencie les usages du terme entre le Nouveau et l'Ancien Testament, soulignant leur complémentarité. Jésus offre sa vie en rançon pour tous, tandis que Proverbes exprime un principe moral de protection des justes.
Isaiah 53.10-12 (King James Version) :Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.Notethou…: or, his soul shall make an offeringHe shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Matthew's real name?
L'article discute de l'identité du disciple Matthieu, également appelé Lévi dans certains Évangiles. Il explique que cette variation de nom est due aux pratiques onomastiques du 1er siècle, où les gens avaient souvent plusieurs noms selon les contextes sociaux et religieux.
Luke 5.27 (King James Version) :And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Acts of the Apostles
Introduction à une série d'études sur les Actes des Apôtres, prolongement naturel de l'Évangile de Luc. L'article présente la démarche historico-théologique adoptée : contextualisation des événements, mise en parallèle avec les épîtres pauliniennes, établissement d'une chronologie. Les deux figures centrales, Pierre et Paul, structureront l'étude. L'objectif est de retracer la naissance et l'expansion de l'Église depuis Jérusalem jusqu'au monde méditerranéen, sous l'action du Saint-Esprit.
Acts 13.46-48 (King James Version) :Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The Introduction to Luke
Premier commentaire de la série sur les Actes des Apôtres, cet article analyse l'introduction de Luc (Actes 1.1-3). Il présente Luc comme auteur des deux œuvres adressées à Théophile, évoque l'hypothèse de ce dernier comme commanditaire, et souligne les quarante jours d'enseignement post-résurrection sur le Royaume de Dieu. Ces versets assurent la transition entre l'Évangile et l'histoire de l'Église naissante sous la conduite du Saint-Esprit.

The Ascension of Jesus
L'ascension de Jésus, survenue le 12 mai 33 sur le mont des Oliviers, clôt son ministère terrestre. Élevé dans une nuée, il est accueilli auprès du Père tandis que deux anges annoncent son retour glorieux. Cet événement, relaté uniquement par Luc, marque le passage vers le ministère céleste du Christ et fonde l'espérance eschatologique de l'Église primitive dans l'attente de la parousie.
Luke 24.4-7 (King James Version) :And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The Miraculous Deliverance of the Apostles
Cet article analyse la délivrance miraculeuse des apôtres (Actes 5.19-21) à Jérusalem au printemps 33. Arrêtés par le grand prêtre et les sadducéens, les apôtres sont libérés de prison par un ange durant la nuit. Luc rapporte ce miracle avec sobriété, en soulignant sa signification théologique et ses parallèles avec l'Ancien Testament. L'ange confie aux apôtres libérés la mission d'annoncer au Temple 'les paroles de cette vie', expression désignant le message du salut en Jésus-Christ.
1 John 5.11-12 (King James Version) :And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Saul and the Martyrdom of Stephen
L'article ADA030 analyse Actes 8.1-3 : la première apparition de Saul de Tarse, qui approuve le martyre d'Étienne, et le début d'une grande persécution contre l'Église de Jérusalem. La dispersion des croyants en Judée et Samarie, loin d'être une défaite, devient providentiellement le moteur de l'expansion de l'Évangile, accomplissant la promesse de Jésus en Actes 1.8.
Acts 22.4-5 (King James Version) :And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
ADA032
The Gospel in Samaria
Après la mort d'Étienne, la persécution disperse les croyants de Jérusalem qui, partout où ils vont, annoncent l'Évangile. Philippe se rend en Samarie et y prêche avec puissance. Luc montre que cette dispersion accomplit le programme missionnaire annoncé par Jésus en Actes 1.8. La Samarie, longtemps séparée d'Israël, reçoit enfin la Bonne Nouvelle. Philippe, l'un des Sept, devient le premier évangéliste officiellement désigné du Nouveau Testament.

Historical notes

INF001
Sadducees
The Sadducees were an aristocratic and priestly group of ancient Judaism (200 BC – AD 70), controlling the Temple of Jerusalem and the Sanhedrin. They accepted only the Pentateuch, and denied the resurrection of the dead and the existence of angels. Mentioned fifteen times in the New Testament, they played a key role in the condemnation of Jesus, notably through Caiaphas and Anna. Their disappearance coincides with the destruction of the Temple in AD 70.
Acts 23.6 (King James Version) :But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Reconciliation
The article stresses the universal need for reconciliation with God because of sin, according to Paul’s writings. Despite the indifference of many, the violation of God’s law brings about a spiritual separation. Through Jesus, reconciliation is possible, avoiding eternal hell. Everyone will have to answer for their choices before God.

God’s love for humanity
The article explores God’s love through John 3:16 and the idea that, despite persecution, faith in Jesus offers a path to eternal life. It asserts that following Jesus’ teachings is an open door into the kingdom of God, and although this life is transitory, our choices here influence our eternity. Salvation through Jesus is presented as a precious gift, and everyone is free to accept it or not.

Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved
The article discusses salvation in Jesus Christ, based on Acts 16.31. Using rescue metaphors, the author compares faith to physical rescue actions. He argues that believing in Jesus is essential for eternal salvation, even if this approach seems simple or naive. Warning against unseen dangers, the article recalls the importance of choosing faith to secure a life after death.
Deuteronomy 30.19-20 (King James Version) :I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Lead Me to the Rock That Is Higher Than I
The article develops the theme of Psalm 61:3, where David asks God to lead him to a "rock" beyond his own reach. This "rock" symbolizes security and peace, and the author stresses the need for faith in Jesus, our "spiritual rock," in order to enter this tranquility.
Psalms 62.7-8 (King James Version) :In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
