From the second to the third Passover festival

  • Proclamation of the Gospel

    The article ‘PER082 - Proclamation of the Gospel’ explores Jesus' prophetic instructions to his disciples, announcing future persecutions. Based on Matthew 10:16–23, it highlights the Holy Spirit's role. Taking place in Galilee, this training prepares the apostles for the challenges ahead.

    Matthew 10.16-23 (King James Version) :
    Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

  • 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.

  • The return of the apostles

    Après leur mission d'évangélisation en Galilée, les apôtres reviennent auprès de Jésus et lui rendent compte de leur activité. Marc souligne leur épuisement et le besoin de repos dans un lieu désert, tandis que Luc précise que le retrait s'effectue vers Bethsaïda. Cette péricope met en lumière la compassion de Jésus envers ses disciples, l'importance du repos dans le ministère et la pratique de la reddition de compte apostolique. L'événement se situe en Galilée en mars 32.

    Mark 6.30-31 (King James Version) :
    And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

  • The Messiah Jesus withdraws with his disciples

    PER167 décrit le retrait de Jésus et ses disciples vers Bethsaïda pour se reposer après une intense mission d'évangélisation en Galilée, juste avant la Pâque d'avril 32. L'analyse synoptique de Matthieu 14,13-14, Marc 6,31-32, Luc 9,10-11 et Jean 6,1-4 montre convergences et nuances : désir d'isolement, suivi par la foule, guérisons et enseignement. Cet épisode précède directement la multiplication des pains.

    Mark 6.31-32 (King James Version) :
    And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

From the third Passover to the beginning of the last week

  • The multiplication of the loaves for the 5,000 people

    The feeding of the 5,000 is a miracle attested to by all four evangelists, which took place near Bethsaida in April of the year 32. With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed a vast crowd, demonstrating his divine power and his shepherd’s compassion, and foreshadowing the Eucharist. The twelve remaining baskets symbolize the abundance of the Kingdom of God.

    Mark 6.30-44 (King James Version) :
    And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.And they did all eat, and were filled.And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

  • 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.

    Matthew 14.22-32 (King James Version) :
    And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

  • The Apostles' Reaction

    La péricope 172 relate la réaction des apôtres après que Jésus a marché sur les eaux et calmé la tempête. Situé à Génésareth en avril 32, l'épisode est rapporté par Matthieu et Marc. Les disciples se prosternent et proclament : 'Tu es véritablement le Fils de Dieu', marquant une étape décisive dans leur foi et dans la révélation christologique progressive des Évangiles.

    Mark 6.51-52 (King James Version) :
    And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

The Resurrection and the Various Appearances

  • The women go to the Tomb

    Pericope 364 describes the women's departure for the tomb of Jesus early on Sunday morning, as attested by all four Gospels. Moved by their faithfulness and devotion to Jesus, they bring spices without expecting a resurrection. The study highlights their steadfastness in contrast to the failure of the apostles, their failure to understand the announcements of the resurrection, and their ignorance of the guards placed at the tomb. A rigorous synoptic analysis within the framework of the Passion and the Resurrection.

    Mark 15.40-41 (King James Version) :
    There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

Ministère de Pierre

  • 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.

    John 14.2-3 (King James Version) :
    In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

  • La comparution devant le Sanhédrin

    Étude exégétique d'Actes 5.27-33 relatant la comparution des apôtres devant le Sanhédrin à Jérusalem. Face aux accusations de Caïphe, Pierre proclame avec assurance que l'obéissance à Dieu prime sur celle des hommes, et annonce que Jésus, crucifié et ressuscité, est élevé comme Prince et Sauveur pour offrir la repentance et le pardon à Israël. Un épisode fondateur de la mission apostolique.

    Acts 3.13-15 (King James Version) :
    The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

  • The Appointment of the Seven and the Organization of the Early Church

    Actes 6,1-7 relate la première crise interne de l'Église de Jérusalem, liée à la distribution inégale aux veuves. Pour y remédier, les Douze proposent de nommer sept hommes remplis du Saint-Esprit et de sagesse. Cette décision fondatrice distingue les ministères tout en affirmant leur complémentarité, et s'accompagne d'une croissance remarquable de la communauté chrétienne naissante.

    Acts 6.1 (King James Version) :
    And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
