From the second to the third Passover festival

  • The Healing of Two Blind Men

    La guérison de deux aveugles à Capernaüm, rapportée uniquement par Matthieu (Mt 9.27-31), illustre la foi messianique : les deux hommes reconnaissent Jésus comme 'Fils de David'. Jésus les guérit selon leur foi et leur demande le silence, souhaitant orienter les foules vers le salut éternel plutôt que vers les guérisons physiques. Ce récit prépare la réponse de Jésus à Jean le Baptiste en Matthieu 11.5.

    Luke 18.35-43 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

It places this teaching in the chronological context of Jesus’ ministry between Hanukkah and Passover, offering an in-depth analysis of the spiritual implications of his teachings beyond mere legal debates.

    John 11.1-44 (King James Version) :
    Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.Jesus wept.Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
