Jesus arrives in Nazareth, after the death of Alphaeus. He is not well received. Christ doesn't want anyone to go and tell his Mother, and goes straight to his uncle's house. There he meets with hostility from Simon and Joseph of Alphaeus, but the elder Simon is more fair-minded. Joseph, on the other hand, is much more stubborn and unwilling to forgive the Lord. Jesus assures us, however, that Alpheus died peacefully.

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.
