The beginning of the ministry in Galilee

  • PER066 The calling of another disciple, Matthew

    The article examines Jesus' calling of Matthew, highlighting his unique role among the disciples as the future writer of the Gospel. Matthew leaves his work as a tax collector to follow Christ after having known him previously, probably through John the Baptist. This calling is significant because it makes Matthew a crucial spokesman for the apostles.

    Matthew 9.9 (King James Version) :
    And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Peter's ministry

  • ADA005 The choice of Matthias

    Analysis of Acts 1.15-26, which recounts the election of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot. Peter, the natural spokesman of the disciples, bases the need for this replacement on the Psalms. The apostolic criteria are specified: to have followed Jesus since his baptism and to be a witness of his resurrection. Matthias is finally designated by lot after prayer, restoring the college of the Twelve, a symbol of the twelve tribes of Israel.

    Acts 1.20 (King James Version) :
    For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
