From the second to the third Passover festival

  • 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.

    Mark 5.21-24 (King James Version) :
    And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

  • The Messiah Jesus and Peter walk on the water

    La péricope 171 analyse le miracle de Jésus marchant sur les eaux du lac de Génésareth (avril 32), incluant l'épisode de Pierre. Une comparaison rigoureuse des récits de Matthieu 14.22-32, Marc 6.45-52 et Jean 6.16-21 met en lumière convergences et divergences, révélant la puissance divine du Messie et la tension entre foi et doute chez les disciples.

    Job 9.8 (King James Version) :
    Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

The last day up to the crucifixion

  • Pilate’s Efforts to Save Jesus

    The pericope PER348 examines Pontius Pilate’s repeated attempts to save Jesus during the trial before the praetorium in Jerusalem, on a Friday morning. Based mainly on John 19.4-15, it traces the political and religious pressures that lead Pilate to condemn Jesus despite his conviction of his innocence. This passage reveals the tension between justice, political power and religious authority during the Passion of Christ.

    Luke 23.13-25 (King James Version) :
    And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.I will therefore chastise him, and release him.(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
