The ministry of John the Baptist

  • PER038 The first Passover festival

    Pericope PER038 analyses the first Passover festival in John’s Gospel (John 2:13), dated precisely to 7 April 30. The article makes three observations: the festival’s chronological value for dating Jesus’ ministry over three and a half years, John’s distinction of the ‘Passover of the Jews’, and Jesus’ observance of Jewish rites. John alone records this period before John the Baptist’s arrest.

    John 5.1 (King James Version) :
    After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

From the second to the third Passover festival

  • PER069 The second Passover festival in Jerusalem

    This article analyses Jesus' second Passover pilgrimage to Jerusalem, mentioned in John 5:1. Although John does not explicitly name Passover, the chronological context suggests this event. Jesus takes this opportunity to preach and debate with the religious authorities. The interactions take place in the Temple court at a time when pilgrims flock to Jerusalem, giving Jesus a diverse audience for his teaching.

    Luke 6.1 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

  • PER159 Jesus the Messiah continues his work

    La péricope 159 présente Jésus poursuivant son ministère en Galilée, depuis Capernaüm, en février-mars 32, avant la troisième Pâque. S'appuyant uniquement sur Matthieu 9.35, l'article souligne la priorité accordée à la proclamation du Royaume sur les miracles, l'autonomie des synagogues locales face aux pharisiens, et la méthode thématique de Matthieu, corrigée ici par la chronologie de Marc.

    Matthew 9.35 (King James Version) :
    And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
