Chapter 14*

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely not I?”

“It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it.

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. “I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Red hair and black heart.

[Hebrews 11:6]

By the way, I liked the Dagnan-Bouveret so much that I also plunked it into the midst of tomorrow’s thread, where it serves as the first wine image. Mum’s the word!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ha Ha!

You have a great eye…I thought it was a stand-out.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’m sneaky like that. Not the first time I’ve done that....

How many images do you have of Christ Jesus as First Responder/EMT? No ambulance required. Imagine that!

[Hebrews 11:6]

How many images do you have

Babe Ruth famously responded, when asked how many home runs he had hit: "I'll hit 'em, you count 'em."

My vote is for the guy that the servant is handing the drink to, in green. Looks sort of like Cranach’s portrait of Luther, with beard added.

[etabeta]

You are right, I went to check in one of my art books. The man receiving the cup of wine is Luther and the servant is thought to be Cranach the Younger who completed the painting his father had started. Good catch.

[AnAmericanMother]

That’s pretty neat. I thought the servant looked a bit on the contemporary side. :-)
