Doras

Levi, Joseph and the shepherds are with Jesus, along with John, Simon the Zealot and Judas. They arrive at the plain of Esdrelon. While Levi goes ahead to warn Jonah, Jesus remains alone with John. The beloved declares that he prefers his boat to the harsh torments inflicted by Doras, and Jesus, half-joking, asks him if he really prefers his boat. John impulsively replies that Christ prefers it, because he is Love on Earth. Jesus then takes the time to explain to him that Love is hungry for love, and that few men will know how to love God as they should. Loving is what John is all about, and the Lord takes the example of the wheat that gives itself to all, feeding its brothers and sisters. At the end of this sweet conversation, Jonah arrives. The mistreated shepherd is delighted to find his Master. They talk about Mary, then Doras' abuse. Jesuis encourages him to stay in his place, to continue sanctifying himself and others. He will be able to continue evangelizing among the poor. Finally, the Lord goes to see the other workers of Doras with his faithful friend.

Jesus is in a town that Maria does not name: according to a note from maria-valtorta.org, it could be the Gulf of Ptolemais. Andrew asks him to come for an affair of the heart: a man wants to repudiate his wife because he is sterile. Jesus manages to stop the argument. Peter, who is curious, has followed his brother and his Master and cannot curb his curiosity. After this, Joseph, the Shepherd of Bethlehem, brings a letter from Mary to Jesus: Alpheus is dead. He also reads a missive from Lazarus, who informs him that Doras will give them Jonah, on condition that he pays double the sum, as well as Jesus coming to his home. Lazarus accepted on behalf of his Master. Christ then decided to return to Nazareth, but before doing so, he

Jesus arrives at the plain of Esdrelon. There he meets four peasants from Yokhanan, who are working in the fields. Peter decides to help them while they talk with the Master. The four men are impressed, but eventually stop being afraid and start questioning Christ. They tell him about Jonah and the harshness of Doras. Jesus goes to the Pharisee's house and a violent confrontation ensues. Doras wants to impress Jesus with his wealth, but the Lord only asks for Jonah, and Doras finally complies, ordering servants to bring him. Jesus, however, follows his servants to the shepherd of Bethlehem. The latter is dying, and the Messiah tells his apostles to take the bed on which Jonah lies: they are going to Nazareth. Before leaving, he puts an anathema on Doras' land. Doras wants him to withdraw his curse, but Christ leaves him to the God of Sinai. Finally, the apostolic group arrives in Nazareth and Jonah dies between Jesus and Mary.
