Wafanyabiashara Wafukuzwa Hekaluni (Les vendeurs chassés du Temple)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Kati ya nguzo za ukumbi wa Hekalu kila kitu kinakimbia: njiwa wanaruka angani, wauzaji wanakimbia na vizimba na masanduku yao, vikapu vya machungwa na mikate vinabingirika sakafuni.

Yesu anaingia kati yao akiwa amevaa nyeupe na mjeledi wa kamba ameuinua juu ya kichwa chake. Mbele, mfanyabiashara aliyevaa nyekundu amechuchumaa kando ya nguzo, akikodoa macho, na wanawake wanajikunyata kando ya masanduku yao ya ndege.

Kutoka maandiko

“akawafukuza nje wote waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza hekaluni” (Mathayo 21:12)

“alipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wauza njiwa” (Mathayo 21:12)

Mjeledi wa kamba, kama Yohana anavyosimulia (Yohana 2:15)
