Pictures of Jesus


The pictures of Jesus below come from four different traditions. Picture one is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci called The Baptism of Jesus, showing the moment when Jesus is being baptized by John the Baptist in the River Jordan.



The second is Jesus on a Russian orhtodoc icon. He is holding a book in which calls all the sufferers of the world to come to him.

The third picture is Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. This is an old book illustration from a Bible for children.


The fourth picture of Jesus is an ink drawing by Rembrandt. Here the figure of Jesus illuminates all other people around him, which is accentuated by the darkness around them.
