John of Endor and Marziam get on well and gravitate around Jesus, like two resurrected people who love their Savior very much, for all the love he has given them. The child is only saddened when he sees the plain of Esdrelon, where his grandfather stayed.

After a break, they set off again, finally stopping at a village. The next morning, they continue their journey and meet the Consul's convoy. Valeria, Plautina and Lydia join them and greet the Master. Jesus then tells Peter that he wants to make a detour via the Jordan, so that Marziam doesn't see the mountain that killed her parents, but Simon of Jonah convinces Christ to continue towards Shechem to go faster and not to worry his Mother; he and John of Endor will take care of distracting the child when the time comes.

Cycle: The second Paschal journey

Summary: John of Endor and Peter distract Yabeç along the way. As a result, he doesn't realize they're passing the mountain where his parents were buried. Then Jesus calls him and shows him the golden roofs of the Temple, and begins to ask him about the Word of God. The child cries as he remembers his parents, and Jesus reminds him of Jacob's dream, with the angels ascending to heaven and descending to earth. He promises him that at the end of his life, he won't have to climb that ladder, for he's already climbed it all his life. The Master also assures him that he will be loved by his Mother and the other Marys, and all his words console the little orphan.

Yabeç finally asks Christ about Limbo, and Jesus explains that he will open it once he has obtained the Father's forgiveness. Yabeç's mother will follow him to Heaven, and she will be there at the hour of her child's death. The boy is delighted by this thought, and they return to the examination the boy is to take.

After asking him about God and the Sabbath, Peter's protégé finally understands that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior, and is stunned. But Jesus assures him that he need not be afraid of him. The group takes a break to eat, after which the orphan asks to be given a new name from the feast of his majority. The Lord grants his request, and decides that his Mother will give him one.

Christ then questions Yabeç, asking which books speak of the Messiah. The child replies that they are Daniel and Isaiah, and confesses his preference for the former. John of Zebedee, meanwhile, joins in the conversation, noticing that the child has the same words as he does, and Jesus sets off for Berot.

Calendar: Friday, March 24, 28 (Nissan 11, 3788)

Location (map): From Beerot to Jerusalem.

Cycle: The second Paschal journey

Summary: It's raining. Peter and Yabeç are in a good mood, but Judas is grumbling. John of Endor starts to argue with him, but the Iscariot is in no mood to be lectured, and points out that he is an apostle. John replies that you never know what you're going to become: he thought he'd end his life as an honest tutor in Cinthium, before turning into a murderer. Everyone can learn from the experience of others, and John is particularly fortunate to have found Jesus.

Judas feels that he knows no other wisdom than that of Israel, but the former prisoner believes that having God's wisdom is better, and that it's like a sunny day compared to a foggy one. He also believes that Jesus is God - for Judas points this out to him - but he does not yet dare to speak familiarly with the Master. He believes, however, that the Lord hears his soul weeping with gratitude. Jesus confirms this and encourages him to speak with himself. Judas then retorts that he once told him not to speak with his own self, which Christ confirms, but it was then because the man from Kerioth was inwardly slandering. In this case, John is speaking with himself to meditate, which is excellent.

Judas is agitated and aggressive, and Jesus points out that his heart is sullen like the weather. But he points out that the sun will soon return, and the apostle walks away in a bad mood. Bartholomew wonders what's wrong with him, and Peter hears that the Master has been disrespected, which immediately agitates Andrew's brother. But Jesus reassures him, and finally Simon of Jonah turns his attention back to the child. Finally, the apostolic group enters Jerusalem for Passover.

Chapter contents: 195.1: The experience of John of Gold and Judas clash in two conceptions. 195.2: Jesus confirms the wisdom of John of Gold. 195.3: The apostles react to Judas' anger. Jesus avoids provoking Peter's susceptibility. 195.4: The crowd and the apostolic group enter Jerusalem.

Jesus, for his part, is concerned about John of Endor, who is intimidated by the prospect of returning to the Father's house. Christ reassures him and absolves him of everything, which moves the new convert.

They go to the treasury to make their offering when they meet Joseph of Arimathea. He is surprised to see a little boy with them, and Peter explains that the boy is about to take his majority exam. Andrew's brother asks the Pharisee to come along, so that the doctors of the Law don't cause any trouble. Joseph then greets the Master, who suggests that he come to Bethany to meet him.

Cycle: The second Paschal journey

Summary: In Bethany, a servant of Lazarus takes care of Marziam: his hair is cut and he is dressed properly. Thomas comes across him and takes him to the women, who want to feed him. They decide, with Mary's permission, to call him Marziam rather than Margziam. Everyone gathers around Jesus and decides what to do. Judas goes to see friends, Bartholomew and Philip go to a certain Samuel, Thomas goes to a relative's house where he may see his father. The others, including John of Endor and Lazarus, accompany the Master.

So they go to the tombs of Siloan, where there are lepers. Simon the Zealot had preceded them and was guiding them. Jesus heals the sick who believe in him, and when Christ decides to go to Ben Hinnom, Lazarus withdraws because the journey is too long for him. One of the lepers speaks on behalf of all, and the man called John introduces the sick who have been waiting for him. Among them is a child. Jesus heals them, then goes to Annalia to collect his Mother. From there, the Virgin leaves with Peter and Marziam to buy her what she needs for her feast. The Master sees an image of the nascent Church, which he explains to Simon the Zealot, then they go to Jeanne de Kouza's house.

The vision continues into the evening. Jesus and Mary talk together: they speak of Annalia's fiancé, who seems to be good; then they evoke Judas, who does not change despite Jesus' touch. The Virgin confesses that she has the same repulsion for him as Marziam and Benjamin of Magdala, and Jesus asks her to love the Iscariot. Finally, they broach the delicate subject of Simon Peter, who has revealed to Mary his desire to adopt the young Yabeç. The Mother intercedes for the apostle, explaining that this will enable him to become gentle. She finally wins his case, and Jesus calls Andrew's brother, telling him that he will have the child, but that this must not become an obstacle to his mission...

Chapter title: Aglaé and the fragrance of her joy at being saved.

Date of vision: Monday, June 25, 1945.

Calendar: Monday, March 27, 28 (14 Nisan 3788)

Location (map): Bethany

Cycle: The second Paschal journey

Summary: Jesus returns alone to the house of Simon the Zealot and is preoccupied. He is obviously waiting for someone, and Mary, his Mother, finally brings him Aglaia. He asks the Virgin not to disturb them, and Christ finally speaks with the former sinner. She kneels in adoration and weeps. She reveals that she dares not hope to obtain the Lord's love after having sinned so much. The Master consoles her and explains that this desire to love comes from God himself. When the convert is astonished that the Most High should love someone like Aglaia, Jesus again replies that God is an abyss of mercy incomprehensible to the human mind, and confirms that she is forgiven.

A legitimate question then arises: what should she do? Christ tells her to go to a deserted place and informs her that they will never see each other again on earth, and that he will die to obtain her redemption. She, for her part, will devote herself to penance, and another apostle will come to tell her all she needs to know: it won't be Andrew, however, who brought her to Jesus.

The former sinner then gives him her jewels and empties an amphora of perfume. Finally, she takes her leave, and from where he stands, Jesus blesses her as she walks away. He then asks his Mother to bring him Andrew, and informs him that she is saved. Peter's brother must say nothing, however, and soon the other apostles arrive. They wonder who answered the perfume, and Judas complains, annoying Lazarus and his companions. Jesus then takes the Iscariot away, and the vision ceases.

Chapter contents: 200.1: Jesus seems preoccupied. 200.2: Mary announces Aglaia's arrival and brings her to him. 200.3: Jesus confirms God's forgiveness to Aglaia. 200.4: He sends her to the desert, where one of his apostles will visit her. 200.5: She empties an amphora of perfume at his feet. 200.6: Jesus thanks André for his apostolic work with Aglaé. 200.7: Discussion about the perfume poured out.

They go to another place to wait for him, but the apostle doesn't show up. Joseph of Arimathea grows impatient and they finally head off to the holy place, where Marziam is about to take her exam. Jesus is unable to accompany her, as this would be a disservice to him. Peter is saddened but understands. Instead, Joseph accompanies Simon and his adopted son. They are greeted by Azrael and Jacob, two rabbis or synagogue leaders who show contempt for Peter and skim over the exam. But Marziam is accepted and the child returns with his father, all happy. Jesus is happy too, but is saddened, like the others, by Judas' defection, and Peter belatedly realizes this. However, the Master reassures him and they go to Joseph of Arimathea.
