Wealthy, influential or powerful people

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 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.
