  • PER171 The Messiah Jesus and Peter walk on the water

    Pericope 171 analyzes the miracle of Jesus walking on the waters of Lake Gennesaret (April AD 32), including the episode of Peter. A rigorous comparison of the accounts in Matthew 14.22-32, Mark 6.45-52 and John 6.16-21 brings out points of agreement and difference, revealing the divine power of the Messiah and the tension between faith and doubt among the disciples.

    John 6.16-21 (King James Version) :
    And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

  • PER173 Numerous Healings at Gennesaret

    Pericope 173 recounts the numerous healings Jesus performed at Gennesaret (Galilee) in April AD 32, according to Matthew 14.34-36 and Mark 6.53-56. On his arrival, Jesus is immediately recognized, and crowds of sick people hurry to touch the fringe of his cloak, thereby obtaining their healing. The synoptic analysis reveals major convergences between the two evangelists and complementary nuances. This episode illustrates popular faith, the divine power of Jesus, and foreshadows the growing tensions with the religious authorities.

    Mark 6.53 (King James Version) :
    And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
