Rembrandt, Ich Habe Euch Ein Beispiel Gegeben, 1655
The title of this sparse yet dramatic sketch from Rembrandt is translated, "I Gave You an Example." As Peter watches his Master choose to partake in this most unexpected act, some of the other disciples gather to watch, and perhaps begin to understand what kind of life Christ is calling them to when he says, "Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them" (John 13:17).
