Wars and punishments

Farewell to the souls of Belle-Eau. The steward explains what happened with Aglaé, and the Master blesses her uprightness. Jesus then talks to the apostles on the road: he tells them that he does not want a human kingdom, and that he will not conquer it by violence. Finally, Jesus goes to console the synagogue ruler at Belle-Eau. He's going to be cursed by the Sanhedrin, so he's going to be removed from office. The man, in his humility, believes that he will no longer be able to look up to God, and regrets, not the loss of his prestigious office, but the loss of his friendship with God. He is therefore gripped by scruples, and Jesus reassures him that he has not sinned. The Sanhedrin's condemnation falls, but Christ invites him instead to follow in his footsteps, and Timon is happy.
