The ministry of John the Baptist

  • PER040 The results in Jerusalem

    Pericope 40 analyses the results of Jesus’ first preaching in Jerusalem during Passover in the year 30, according to John 2:23–25. Although many believed because of the miracles, Jesus remains reserved about this superficial faith, based on spectacle rather than sincere repentance. John emphasises Jesus’ divine ability to know the human heart. The article identifies two key points: the extended stay in Jerusalem and the divine nature of the Messiah’s discernment.

    John 2.23-25 (King James Version) :
    Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

The beginning of the ministry in Galilee

  • PER052 The beginning of the preaching in Galilee

    Pericope PER052 marks the official beginning of Jesus’ preaching in Galilee after John the Baptist’s arrest. Matthew emphasises continuity between John’s message and Jesus’ message, both calling for repentance. This decisive turning point, placed in Capernaum around February–March 31, confirms the fulfilment of messianic prophecies and Jesus’ full entry into his public ministry.

    Matthew 4.17 (King James Version) :
    From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

From the second to the third Passover festival

  • PER117 Jesus the Messiah in the Pharisee’s house

    In Capernaum, Jesus accepts an invitation from a Pharisee named Simon. During the meal, a sinful woman anoints his feet with tears and perfume. Faced with Simon’s contempt, Jesus tells a parable about forgiveness and declares that the woman has been saved by her faith. This episode, recorded only by Luke (7,36-50), illustrates the opposition between the Pharisees’ religious pride and the repentant humility that opens the way to salvation.

    Luke 7.39 (King James Version) :
    Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

From the 3rd Passover to the start of the final week

  • PER202 Parable of the lost sheep

    The parable of the lost sheep (Mt 18.10-14; Lk 15.3-7) is taught by Jesus at Capernaum in September AD 32, shortly before his final departure from Galilee. Matthew emphasizes the protection of the ‘little ones’ and the divine will not to lose any of them, whereas Luke stresses the heavenly joy over the repentant sinner. The figure of the shepherd points to the messianic mission of Jesus, the good shepherd who prepares his disciples for his absence by promising them a spiritual guide.

    Luke 15.3-7 (King James Version) :
    And he spake this parable unto them, saying,What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

  • PER229 Reminder of the massacre of the Galileans by Pilate

    Pericope PER229 (Luke 13,1-5) recounts how witnesses of a Pharisee's meal confronted Jesus about the massacre of Galileans by Pilate. Jesus refuses to see in it a divine punishment and calls for personal repentance, also citing the fall of the tower of Siloam. He teaches that death is the common lot of all, and that only repentance opens the way to the Kingdom of God.

    Luke 13.1-5 (King James Version) :
    There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

The last week before the arrest

  • PER290 The parable of the two sons

    The parable of the two sons (Matt 21,28-32), recorded only by Matthew, takes place in the Temple of Jerusalem during Jesus’ last week. It contrasts two attitudes: promising without acting versus refusing and then obeying. Jesus unmasks the hypocrisy of the religious leaders and announces that repentant sinners enter the Kingdom ahead of them. A universal call to humility and sincere repentance.

    Romans 10.9-10 (King James Version) :
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The last day up to the crucifixion

  • PER354 The dialogue with the two criminals beside him

    Pericope 354 analyzes the unique dialogue reported by Luke between Jesus and the two criminals crucified beside him (Lk 23,39-43). One mocks Jesus; the other acknowledges his guilt, affirms Jesus' innocence and asks to be welcomed into his kingdom. Jesus promises him paradise “today.” This passage reveals a central theological paradox: Jesus saves from the cross, displaying a spiritual authority precisely where everything seems to contradict it.

    Luke 23.39 (King James Version) :
    And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Reliability of the Scriptures and other doctrinal topics

  • APO003 Appearance or Truth

    APO003 analyzes chapter 3 of Revelation and its three letters to the Churches of Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. These messages from the risen Christ set out three timeless spiritual diagnoses: lifeless appearance, humble faithfulness and self-satisfied lukewarmness. Each letter follows a precise structure and speaks to every generation of believers, inviting them to discern their true spiritual condition and to persevere in the faith.

    Revelation 3.14 (King James Version) :
    And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

    The article discusses the idea that God might be unjust in allowing suffering and injustice in the world, but concludes that this condition results from human sin. It invites repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation.

    Romans 8.20-22 (King James Version) :
    For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
