The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is in a town that Maria does not name: according to a note from maria-valtorta.org, it could be the Gulf of Ptolemais. Andrew asks him to come for an affair of the heart: a man wants to repudiate his wife because he is sterile. Jesus manages to stop the argument. Peter, who is curious, has followed his brother and his Master and cannot curb his curiosity. After this, Joseph, the Shepherd of Bethlehem, brings a letter from Mary to Jesus: Alpheus is dead. He also reads a missive from Lazarus, who informs him that Doras will give them Jonah, on condition that he pays double the sum, as well as Jesus coming to his home.

Detail

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).

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus arrives at the plain of Esdrelon. There he meets four peasants from Yokhanan, who are working in the fields. Peter decides to help them while they talk with the Master. The four men are impressed, but eventually stop being afraid and start questioning Christ. They tell him about Jonah and the harshness of Doras. Jesus goes to the Pharisee's house and a violent confrontation ensues. Doras wants to impress Jesus with his wealth, but the Lord only asks for Jonah, and Doras finally complies, ordering servants to bring him. Jesus, however, follows his servants to the shepherd of Bethlehem. The latter is dying, and the Messiah tells his apostles to take the bed on which Jonah lies: they are going to Nazareth. Before leaving, he puts an anathema on Doras' land. Doras wants him to withdraw his curse, but Christ leaves him to the God of Sinai. Finally, the apostolic group arrives in Nazareth and Jonah dies between Jesus and Mary.
