Allori, Plate 113, gives Martha a maidservant drawing water, and a man-servant bringing in a sheep for dinner. Mary has her alabaster box close at hand! (Compare John 12:1-3.) About the time of the visit Jesus opened the eyes of the man born blind. (John 9.)

Plockhörst, Plate 116, has chosen to illustrate the phrase, "He goeth before them and the sheep follow him."
Upon returning into Perea Jesus gave the "Three Parables of Grace." (Luke 15.)
Schönherr, Plate 117, and Molitor, Plate 102, represent the good shepherd who leaves the ninety and nine on the moor and goes after the lost sheep until he finds it. (Luke 15:4.)
