The calling of another disciple, Matthew
The article examines Jesus' calling of Matthew, highlighting his unique role among the disciples as the future writer of the Gospel. Matthew leaves his work as a tax collector to follow Christ after having known him previously, probably through John the Baptist. This calling is significant because it makes Matthew a crucial spokesman for the apostles.
Mark 2.13-14 (King James Version) :And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The disciple’s personal relationship with his Lord
Pericope 116 explores the personal relationship between the disciple and his Lord through Matthew 11.25-30 and Luke 10.21-24. After condemning the unbelieving towns, Jesus rejoices that the humble understand his word where the wise fail. He affirms his divine sonship and invites all the weary to come to him, promising rest and gentleness under his shared yoke, in contrast to the burdens imposed by the Pharisees.

Conclusion of Jesus the Messiah
Pericope 150 closes the parable discourse of Matthew 13. Jesus asks his disciples whether they have understood, then describes the ideal disciple as a scribe instructed in the kingdom, able to bring out of his treasure things new and old. This passage underscores the complementarity of the Old and New Testaments and the responsibility of teachers to pass on the Messiah's teaching faithfully.
Matthew 13.51-53 (King James Version) :Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The men who want to follow the Messiah Jesus
Luke 9.57-62 presents three men who wish to follow the Messiah Jesus, each with a condition or a hesitation. Jesus responds by calling for renunciation of material comfort, for the primacy of the Kingdom over family duties, and for a determination with no turning back. This passage, unique to Luke, takes place during the journey through Samaria toward Jerusalem and is a radical call to total, uncompromising commitment to the Messiah.

The parable of the barren fig tree
The parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13.6-9), reported only by Luke, illustrates God’s patience and the urgency of conversion. Jesus warns that every disciple who bears no spiritual fruit risks judgment, while emphasizing that God grants an additional time of grace. This text follows on from Luke 13.1-5 and carries a twofold message: a solemn warning and divine mercy.
John 9.1-3 (King James Version) :And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

The image of salt without flavour
The article 'PER241 - The image of salt without flavour' analyses a passage of Luke 14:34-35, where Jesus teaches that disciples must be like salt, essential and transforming. If a disciple loses his spiritual 'flavour', he becomes useless, like insipid salt. This teaching calls for an active and lasting commitment in the spiritual life.
Matthew 5.13 (King James Version) :Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -
PER249
Parable of the unworthy servants
The article explores the parable of the unworthy servants in Luke 17.7-10, stressing the importance of humility and gratitude in the life of the disciple. Jesus teaches that faithful service does not expect recognition from the master and that every ability is a gift from God. Obedience confers no rights, thus promoting an attitude of gratitude, not of entitlement.
1 Corinthians 4.7 (King James Version) :For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
