Yesu Alala Wakati wa Dhoruba (Jésus dormant pendant la tempête)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mtumbwi unainama katika bahari ya kijivu yenye mawimbi. Tanga lake linayumba kuvuka karatasi, mtu mmoja ameshikilia kamba upande wa nyuma, na wanafunzi walio mbele wanashika mlingoti na kushikana kwa hofu.

Ndani ya kibanda kidogo cha chini, karibu kufichika, Yesu amelala juu ya mto, amejifunika nyeupe. Wanafunzi wanasongamana kwenye mlango na kunyoosha mikono ndani ili kumwamsha.

Kutoka maandiko

“mawimbi yalikuwa yakiingia ndani ya mtumbwi na mtumbwi tayali ulikuwa umejaa” (Marko 4:37)

“Yesu mwenyewe alikuwa kwenye shetri, amelala kwenye mto” (Marko 4:38)

“Mwalimu, haujali sisi tunakufa?” (Marko 4:38)

Mikono inaingia ndani kupitia mlango.

Upande wa nyuma

Kwa hofu

Mwanafunzi mmoja anashika kichwa chake kwa mikono yote miwili.
