Fruitfulness and the fruit of suffering

The apostolic group arrives in Nazareth. Philip wants to give up his bed to Matthew, who refuses, and it is finally Thomas who wins the game: it is he who will give his bed to the former tax collector. The sons of Alphaeus go to see their father first. Jesus talks to Peter about them.

Christ then meets Alpheus, Anne's now grown-up boyfriend. He introduces him to his son, whom he has named Joseph. The Nazarene then tells the Messiah that his Mother is staying with Alphée. When Christ learns that the old father might mistreat Jude and James, he leaves his traveling companion to go to the house of Alphaeus. This is an unjust scene, and Jesus appeases the old man, but he won't forgive his sons for joining the Savior, and drives Jesus away. The Lord leaves him in peace, and goes to console Jude and James, who are truly afflicted. Peter too says comforting things, and Mary eventually joins him...
