EARLY GALILEAN MINISTRY.
Schönherr, Plate 69, Hofmann, Plate 70, Max, Plate 71, give different interpretations of Matt. 8:16-17. An evening at Capernaum, when the words of Isaiah (53:4) began to be fulfilled, "Himself took our infirmities and bare our diseases."
The Call of Matthew has been represented variously. (Matt. 9:9-10.)
Pordenone, Plate 59, has Matthew "sitting at the place of toll."
Bida, Plate 57, shows Jesus "as he passed by," and Matthew leaving his place of business to follow him.
Chimenti, Plate 58, would have us believe that Jesus entered the great khan of the city where the customs were collected, and called Matthew from thence.
