Mtu Aliyepooza Ashushwa Kupitia Paa (Le paralytique descendu du toit)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Tissot alionyesha wakati huo kutoka ndani ya nyumba iliyosongamana. Kupitia tundu darini, wanaume walio juu ya paa wanamshusha mtu aliyepooza juu ya kitambaa cha kijivu kilichoshikwa kwa kamba, na wale walio chini wananyoosha mikono yao kumpokea.

Chumba kimejaa pomoni: watu wenye vitambaa vyeupe vichwani wameketi sakafuni na kutazama juu, mmoja anaonyesha kwa kidole, mwingine anainua mikono yote miwili. Sahani zimesimama kwenye rafu upande wa kushoto, na zulia jekundu lenye nakshi limetandikwa sakafuni.

Aya

Mk 2:1–5Aliporudi Kaperinaumu baada ya siku chache, ilisikika kwamba alikuwa nyumbani. Watu wengi sana walikuwa wamekusanyika pale na haikuwepo nafasi tena, hata ile ya pale mlangoni, na Yesu alisema neno kwao. Kisha baadhi ya watu walikuja kwake waliomleta mtu aliyekuwa amepooza; watu wanne walikuwa wamembeba. Wakati waliposhindwa kumkaribia kwa sababu ya umati wa watu, waliondoa paa juu ya mahali pale alipokuwa. Na walipokuwa wamekwishatoboa tundu, walishusha kitanda ambacho mtu aliyepooza alikuwa amelala. Alipoiona imani yao, Yesu alimwambia mtu aliyepooza, “mwanangu, dhambi zako zimesamehewa.”
