Mariamu Magdalene Miguuni pa Yesu

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Yesu ameketi juu ya benchi la mawe uani chini ya mti wenye giza na anazungumza mkono wake ukiwa juu. Miguuni pake ameketi mwanamke kijana mwenye joho jeusi, mikono yake imeunganishwa, akisikiliza macho yake yakiwa chini.

Upande wa pili wa ua dada yake, akiwa na gauni lenye milia ya rangi nyingi, anainua mtungi huku chungu kikipata joto kwenye moto mdogo kando ya ukuta. Tissot alimwita msikilizaji huyo Mariamu Magdalene, kufuatana na mapokeo ya zamani yaliyowahesabu Mariamu wa Bethania na Mariamu Magdalene kuwa mtu mmoja.

Aya

Lk 10:39–42Alikuwa na dada aliyeitwa Mariamu, aliekaa miguuni pa Bwana na kusikiliza neno lake. Lakini Martha alijipa shughuli nyingi za kuandaa mlo. Alikwenda kwa Yesu, na kusema, “Bwana, haujali kwamba dada yangu ameniacha nihudumu peke yangu? Hivyo basi mwambie anisaidie.” Lakini Bwana alimjibu na kumwambia, “Martha, Martha, una sumbuka juu ya mambo mengi, lakini ni kitu kimoja tu cha muhimu. Mariamu amechagua kilicho chema, ambacho hakitaondolewa kutoka kwake.”
