From Tarichea towards Jerusalem for Easter. John is in love with the sea.

In this chapter, Jesus and His apostles depart from Tarichea, heading towards Jerusalem for the Passover. Jesus dismisses the boats, indicating He will not return to the sea, and leads His followers on a journey through a challenging and wild landscape filled with dense vegetation and hidden dangers. The apostles walk in silence, somewhat reluctant about the difficult terrain, while Jesus appears joyful and at peace amidst the natural surroundings. The narrative highlights the contrast between human apprehension and divine serenity during the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
