Jesus Christ

James of Alphaeus joins Jesus in Capernaum, along with his brother Jude. He explains that the whole family is against them, and when he learned that God had to be put above his father, he made the decision to go and find the Holy One of God. The cousins have believed from the start that he is the Messiah. Jesus welcomes him. He suffers Alphaeus' rejection, but spiritually, as the Word of God, he rejoices in this decision.

Now they have to give the tax to Matthew. Peter speaks ill of him, and it's Jesus who introduces himself to the future disciple. They have a brief exchange. Then Christ makes a speech about money and repentance.

When he has finished, he is told that Mary of Alphaeus is present. She is devastated for her Alpheus, who rejects God. She asks him for a miracle, but the Lord won't grant it, because it's not good to do so. But he does promise eternal salvation for her Alpheus, and gives words of encouragement to her aunt.

In Capernaum, little Jeanne and Tobie are fighting over figs. The older brother has unintentionally dropped a stick on his sister, hurting her. Jesus reconciles them and picks figs for them. Then he rejoins the apostles. Peter, always true to form, grumbles because Elijah from Capernaum has passed by and has always been so unpleasant. But Jesus assures them that he will try to make peace with them by being respectful.

They arrive at the square in Capernaum and Jesus calls Matthew to follow him. The disciples are stunned, Matthew's welcome is mixed, Judas is icy. They go to the house of the publican, who wants to throw a big party for his conversion. When he leaves, Judas reproaches him and Peter tells him the truth. Jesus is stern and tells them to behave when Matthew and his friends return.

The meal is over. Three Pharisees - Elijah, Simon and Uriah - ask to enter, which Jesus allows, lest their malice exaggerate what is going on. The Pharisees are obviously contemptuous, despite Jesus' words, and leave. But Jesus says to let it be, and that their good conscience justifies them.

Jesus and the Twelve are on the lake, in two boats. They come across another Roman boat, with Mary Magdalene on board. Jesus is absorbed in his thoughts while Judas, Peter and Simon the Zealot intervene, mainly because of the Iscariot. Then the Lord asks Simon of Jonah to lead them into a separate corner. He teaches them at length about the essential lines of his doctrine.

Jesus is in Tiberias. He is guided by the shepherd Simon to the home of Kouza. He is well received, but Jeanne is dying and Jonathas, in a last desperate effort, has led her to the mountains of Lebanon. Elise, Jeanne's nurse, weeps and Jesus encourages her to have faith. He points out that he will be in Nazareth and that if Jonathas returns within six days, his mistress must be sent to her hometown.

Jesus is alone with his Mother in Nazareth. They're happy to be together, and it looks like a sweet colloquy. Then Jesus asks Mary what she thinks of the apostles, now that she's seen them all, and she tells him what she thinks...

Jesus is in Nazareth. Judas asks him if he is going to Mount Lebanon, and he confirms that he is, as he has promised Esther and must see the shepherds Daniel and Benjamin. The Iscariot then decides to take his leave to go and see his mother, and Peter rejoices loudly at this unexpected departure. Jesus then gives words of consolation to James of Alphaeus, who is overcome with scruples because he feels he is not doing right by his own mother. Then the Master enjoins Peter to be charitable towards Judas.

Jonathas then comes storming in, adoring the Savior, and above all asking him for a miracle for his mistress, Jeanne de Kouza, who is dying. She had ordered him to turn around and go home, and it was then that Esther warned them that Christ was in Nazareth. Without waiting, the Lord sets off with the shepherd, using donkeys as mounts. He finds Jeanne and saves her, and she immediately believes in the Savior.

Jesus travels with Jonathas and the disciples to find Benjamin and Daniel, two shepherds from the Nativity. They talk about Herod and his brother Philip, as well as Kouza, who serves the Tetrarch. Then they come to speak of the martyrs who will give their lives for Christ, and Jesus speaks of Peter's martyrdom. Later, the vision continues, and the group talks about Doras and how he made Jonah a slave. Finally comes the meeting with the shepherds Daniel and Benjamin, who are obviously overjoyed to see their Lord again.
