_Bida, Plate 46,_ illustrates John 1:35. "Behold the Lamb of God,"
said John to two of his disciples, who straightway left John and
followed Jesus. _Gruenewald, Plate 48,_ represents Jesus meditating as
he walks by the sea alone, possibly before he had chosen his
disciples, but more likely after the people threatened to make him a
King (John 6:15), for it is evening near the sea of Galilee.

_Veronese, Plate 50,_ transforms the modest wedding at Cana into a
gorgeous Venetian Feast, to which "Jesus also was bidden, and his
disciples," "and the Mother of Jesus was there." (John 2:1-2.) They
may all be discovered in the central part of the picture, but to the
mind of Veronese the miracle of the wine seems to be of but secondary
importance.
