For twenty-two months Beza had been absent from Geneva, and the interests of school and Church there and especially the condition of Calvin made it necessary for him to return, as there was no one to take the place of Calvin, who was sick and unable to work.
Selama 22 bulan Beza telah pergi dari Jenewa, dan urusan sekolah maupun Gereja di sana, terutama kondisi kesehatan Calvin membuatnya harus kembali karena tidak ada orang lain yang bisa menggantikan Calvin, yang sakit-sakitan dan tidak bisa bekerja penuh.
