  • PER037 A visit to Capernaum

    After the wedding at Cana, Jesus the Messiah visits Capernaum with his family around 1 December 29. Only John reports this episode (John 2:12). He meets his disciples Peter, Andrew, James and John there and befriends Zebedee and Salome. This town later becomes the headquarters of his Galilean ministry. After this visit, he returns to Nazareth before joining John the Baptist at Aenon.

    John 2.12 (King James Version) :
    After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

  • PER042 The return to Aenon south of Galilee

    This article explores Jesus’ return to Aenon after Passover, highlighting the complementary ministries of Jesus and John the Baptist. John, the only evangelist to document this phase, emphasises the relationship between their ministries. Through this episode, the article shows that their roles were harmonious rather than competitive, each playing an essential part in the divine plan.

    John 3.22-24 (King James Version) :
    After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.For John was not yet cast into prison.
