Bwana, Mimi Sistahili (Domine Non Sum Dignus)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Jemedari amesimama chini ya ngazi chini ya tao la mawe, akionekana kwa nyuma akiwa na kofia ya chuma ya Kirumi, joho jekundu na sketi yenye mikunjo. Anainua mkono mmoja kuelekea Yesu, ambaye ameshuka ngazi pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

Yesu, akiwa amejifunika nyeupe, ameweka mkono wake kifuani na anasikiliza. Nyuma ya mkutano huo, barabara yenye matao inafunguka kuelekea nyumba, ngazi na mlango ambao mtu anachungulia.
