Jeanne de Kouza

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 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 arrives at the home of Jeanne de Kouza. She and her husband come to welcome him, and the Lord asks that his Mother may also come here with her sister-in-law, Marie d'Alphée. The steward and his wife agree.

The vision splits and Maria sees the departure of the Virgin and Mary of Cleophas. Jonathas has come to bring them a chariot to facilitate their journey. They hand the key to Alpheus, son of Sarah, who pats himself on the back for the Nazarenes' incredulity, emphasizing the respect shown to him by the Tetrarch's servant (Kouza is indeed in his service).

Finally, the two Marys arrive, and the Mother of Christ exchanges a few words with Jeanne. It pains her to see that the world does not love her Son...
