CHAPTER 9

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”

JESUS HEALS
TWO BLIND MEN
AND A DEAF-MUTE

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and greetings to all.
What a topic! Many believed, seeing His miracles-
#16 Breenbergh
#19 (glass)
#27 Champaigne

Can our faith stand, even without seeing miracles?

Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Can our faith stand, even without seeing miracles?

Jesus rejoiced that the Samaritans believed without seeing miracles.

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

LOVE the Mosaics.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou!

Always wish I could find more mosaics. I guess they’re an endangered species.

[etabeta]

Splendid mosaics at #6 and #11.
#27 by Philippe de Champaigne, the prolific Baroque painter who had learned from Rubens how to handle brilliant colors and paint glowing highlights. Champaigne was one of the greatest religious history painters of the 17th c. He was also well known for his portraits.

There is a church in Ravenna, Italy that has a lot of them.

Must ba a Mosaic Sanctuary.

Seems like that’s been my main source.

[Hebrews 11:6]

brilliant colors and...glowing highlights

I had noticed that specialty of his. Always enjoy viewing his works.

[Hebrews 11:6]

WOW! Can’t help thinking: It’s good they created some reliable glue.

[InkStone]

Thanks etabeta; we can always count on you!!
After I read your comments, I always go back and look carefully again.

[InkStone]

Great Link! Stunning indeed; thank you!

WOW! Can’t help thinking: It’s good they created some reliable glue.

If a modern contractor could come up with the formula, he could save many a tile bathroom from falling tile syndrome.

Ooops...that would mean that people could keep their old tile and not have to pay big bucks for a renovation!

My Pleasure! :-)

You are very welcome, InkStone. I usually enlarge the photos that interest me so I can study the details. That is how I discovered the fly on the arm of the dead daughter of Jairus by Gabriel Max.

Good afternoon, Dan. Thank you very much for the daily cornucopia of Biblical Art.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[etabeta]

Here is an excellent article on the techniques used with floor and wall mosaics.

Does that make me a Cornucopiist? Wait until I tell my wife!
