PER167
The Messiah Jesus withdraws with his disciples
PER167 describes the withdrawal of Jesus and his disciples to Bethsaida to rest after an intense evangelistic mission in Galilee, just before the Passover of April AD 32. The synoptic analysis of Matthew 14,13-14, Mark 6,31-32, Luke 9,10-11 and John 6,1-4 shows points of agreement and nuances: the desire for seclusion, being followed by the crowd, healings and teaching. This episode comes directly before the multiplication of the loaves.
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.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Sanhedrin
Le Sanhédrin était la plus haute instance religieuse, judiciaire et législative du judaïsme du Second Temple (IIe s. av. J.-C. – 70 ap. J.-C.). Composé de 71 membres et siégeant à Jérusalem, il interprétait la Torah, arbitrait les litiges majeurs et supervisait le calendrier hébraïque. Mentionné dans les Évangiles et décrit par la littérature rabbinique, il disparaît après 70 ap. J.-C. mais son modèle continue d'inspirer l'organisation et la pensée juridique juives.

The Codex Leningradensis
The Codex Leningradensis, dated to around AD 1008, is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. Preserved in Saint Petersburg, it uses the Masoretic text and Tiberian vocalization. Based on the work of Aaron ben Moshe ben Asher, it serves as the foundation of the Biblia Hebraica and the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. Its exceptional state of preservation makes it an essential primary source for biblical studies and for the reconstruction of the Aleppo Codex.

The Masoretes
The Masoretes were Jewish scholars active from the 1st century BC to the 10th century, charged with preserving the Hebrew biblical text. They developed the Masorah, a system of diacritical marks to fix the vocalization and pronunciation of the Scriptures. Their work resulted in the Masoretic Text, a fundamental reference for modern Bible translations and textual criticism.

Tiberian Vocalization
Tiberian vocalization is a system of notation developed between the 7th and 10th centuries by Jewish scholars of Tiberias to add vowels (Nikkud) and cantillation marks (Te'amim) to the Hebrew consonants. This Masoretic system, the most complete of those that exist, standardized the reading of the Scriptures and is found in the Masoretic text, notably in the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex.

The Aleppo Codex
The Aleppo Codex (Keter Aram Tsova) is a medieval manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, written around AD 920 in Tiberias. Regarded as the most accurate version of the Hebrew Bible, it includes Masoretic vocalization and cantillation. Kept for six centuries in Aleppo, it was partially destroyed in 1947. Now kept at the Israel Museum, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2016.
