Characters from the Protévangile and the Evangile de l'Enfance

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.
