Public life of Jesus Christ in the EMV

Jesus slept in Nazareth. Mary discreetly takes care of her house. She bakes bread and is joined by Mary of Alphaeus, who has a single concern: to warn Jude that his cousin is in Nazareth. Jesus arrives and tells her that his blood brother is coming. He talks a little with Mary, who has noticed his sad sleep. But now he's happy, because he's with his Mother. He goes to fetch the two shepherds - Levi and Joseph - who have asked to see Mary. The Lord also introduces him to Simon the Zealot, John and Judas. Then Peter arrives. He is surprised and stunned when he sees Jesus, but he is very, very happy to see his Master again, and never wants to leave him. He meets the two shepherds for the first time, then Judas, and comments on the Zealot's soul. Jesus then invites them to go elsewhere and let the women do their work. Levi goes back to Elijah and Isaac. Simon the Zealot prepares a letter for Lazarus, with a view to freeing Jonah.

Jesus is with Peter, Andrew, John, James, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Jude, Simon and Judas, as well as the shepherd Joseph. Jude and Matthew are missing from the Twelve. Jesus has decided to send them out into the world, but to do so, he must train them. So he tells them to love one another, to stick together. They must be one, and not despise souls who don't know God. They must all see themselves as brothers, as members of the same family. To illustrate his point, Jesus takes his inspiration from ants working together for the good of their anthill. When he has finished teaching, Judas sulks: he has the impression that the Master favors Galilee over Keroth and Judea. He thus reveals the poor reception Christ received there, which the Lord wanted to hide. Jesus gives him many reasons why he did not despise the land of Judas. Peter is obviously seething and demands that the Iscariot apologize, but Jesus cuts him short. He reiterates his request that they not tell his Mother about the poor reception he received in Judea.

Jesus is still in Nazareth. He is with Peter, Andrew, John, James, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Jude, Simon and Judas, as well as the shepherd Joseph. He teaches them that all that is hidden will one day be known, and that we must act out of kindness without seeking to be noticed by men. It is God who gives the reward. Next, the Lord encourages us not to judge by appearances. He briefly describes the case of a father who speaks harshly to his son: either he does this to inspire his child to repentance, or he does it out of laziness, and that's a sin. Finally, Jesus talks about the fact that the disciple works himself with the help of his master, but that success depends on our good will. He ends by talking about his Mother, who is ready to follow him, but who is aware of the defilement of the world around her. We come to quote Genesis with Cain and Abel, and the Crime that will take place with the death of Jesus.
