«Chapter 18»

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people.

The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

“If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?” Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

JESUS’ TRIAL
BEFORE ANNAS

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a good weekend to all.

Painful to watch the Savior’s suffering...
#4 Della Robbia
#13 Stom
#21 Tissot
And beautiful glass!

Thank You Dan -

[Hebrews 11:6]

Painful to watch the Savior’s suffering...

You ain't seen nuthin' yet....

Giovanni della Robbia, (1469, Florence [Italy]—died 1529), was best known as a sculptor. However, his work as shown in #4,5,6, shows a definite talent for painting.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The whole family was talented. I’ll be including them—as a group—in my Favorite Artists series in May.

#4-5 beautiful glazed terracotta by Giovanni della Robbia.
11-25 stained glass windows
#13 Stom
#20 Jose de Mandrazo y Agudo, Spanish painter and engraver
#21 Tissot
#24 Duccio, one of the greatest Italian painters of the 13th/14th c., and founder of the Sienese School. His work is elegant, detailed, with subtle modulation of light and shade of the brush strokes.

Five out of Twenty-Five (one fifth) of the paintings have DOGS in them.

Since, in those days, “dogs” were an epithet for Gentiles, do you think that the artist was implying that it wasn’t just the Jewish leaders who were resposible for Jesus’s death?

Just a thought. You can bet that there were no literal dogs in the Chambers of the High Priest.

I may be reading too much into this, but having dogs in the picture is illogical if they aren’t symbolic.

Oh...Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba. Even I, who do not care much got the early painters, appreciate Duccio.

[etabeta]

I once read that in the Middle Ages dogs, although mostly seen as a symbol of fidelity, they could also be a representation of evil, chaos, disorder.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Excellent point, Mary-Lou. BTW, did you consult Tippy?

I know you know this, having great sea-legs as you do, even if you got blindsided that once: the trick to keeping one’s stomach calm is to ignore inboard and orient oneself by watching the horizon, which remains stable.

[InkStone]

Thank you etabeta; your teaching causes us to look back at each one.

[left that other site]

Absolutely! Tippy is always at my side when I post. :-)

As far as the seasickness is concerned, I knew about that, but when you are on the floor puking your guts out, it’s hard to look at the horizon. LOL.

[left that other site]

Interesting.

Tippy is both Loyal AND Chaotic, so that fits.

[Hebrews 11:6]

on the floor puking your guts out

Thanks. I always appreciate candor and plain talk on these threads.

[left that other site]

LOL.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Especially from you.
