Kuchaguliwa kwa Mitume Kumi na Wawili (Election des douze apôtres)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Yesu amepanda juu ya vilima vilivyo juu ya Bahari ya Galilaya, inayolala kwa rangi ya samawati-kijivu mbali chini. Anatembea mbele akiwa na joho jeupe, mikono wazi, akiita, na wanaume aliowachagua wamejipanga kando ya mgongo wa miamba.

Mmoja amepiga magoti mbele yake; wengine, wakiwa na majoho meupe na ya njano, wamesimama mstari, baadhi yao na fimbo. Chini upande wa kushoto umati wa wafuasi wengine unasubiri kwenye mteremko.

Kutoka maandiko

“Alienda juu ya mlima, na akawaita aliowataka, na wakaenda kwake” (Marko 3:13)
