  • PER172 The reaction of the apostles

The disciples bow down and proclaim: 'You are truly the Son of God', marking a decisive step in their faith and in the progressive Christological revelation of the Gospels.

    Matthew 14.33 (King James Version) :
    Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

  • 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 6.56 (King James Version) :
    And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
