Chakula Nyumbani kwa Mathayo (Le repas chez Mathieu)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Chini ya mtini mkubwa nje ya nyumba ya Mathayo, chakula kinaendelea: nyuma, kwenye baraza iliyoinuliwa, Yesu ameketi akiwa amevaa nyeupe kwenye meza ndefu pamoja na wageni wengi, akizungumza kwa mikono yake.

Barabarani chini, wanaume wenye vilemba na majoho mazuri wamesimama na kuketi juu ya mabenchi ya mawe, wakizungumza wao kwa wao na kuonyesha kuelekea mezani. Tissot aliweka tukio hili kando ya safu ya maduka yenye bidhaa zilizotandazwa chini ya turubai.

Kutoka maandiko

“Yesu alipoketi ili ale chakula ndani ya nyumba” pamoja na watoza ushuru wengi na watu waovu (Mathayo 9:10)

“Kwa nini mwalimu wenu anakula chakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na watu waovu?” (Mathayo 9:11)
