_Van Dyck, Plate 96,_ has chosen the moment when Jesus says, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Matt. 22:21). [Illustration: Tribute Money.] Plate 96. _Tribute Money._ A. Van Dyck. 1599-1641. Towards the close of his discourse about The Last Things, Jesus gave the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins. (Matt. 25:1-13.) _Poloty, Plate 128,_ has attempted to illustrate this parable, and has chosen the moment when the foolish virgins discover that they are unprepared. (Verses 8 and 9.) Evidently the cry, "Behold the bridegroom cometh," was not heard, upon this occasion, "at midnight" (Verse 6.)

When the disciples entered the upper room all had neglected to assume the office of servant in preparation for the meal. They were disputing as to who should be the greatest in the kingdom. (Luke 22:24.) Jesus therefore arose from the table and performed the act of cleansing. _Brown, Plate 133,_ has portrayed the incident wonderfully well. The dialogue with Peter is just finished. (John 13:6-10.) [Illustration: Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet.] Plate 133. _Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet._ Ford Madox Brown. 1821-1893. _Da Vinci, Plate 131,_ has excelled all others in rendering the effects of the announcement Jesus made shortly afterwards, when they were at table again, "One of you shall betray me." Some of the disciples wonder (John 13:22), some ask, "Is it I?" (Mark 14:19.) Peter whispers to John to inquire who it is. (John 13:24.) The face of Judas alone is in shadow and inscrutable. Presently Judas will go out to the conspiring chief priests. (John 13:27-30.) [Illustration: The Last Supper.] Plate 131. _The Last Supper._ Leonardo Da Vinci. 1452-1519. When Judas had departed, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified." (John 13:31.) "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed, and break it." _Bida, Plate 132,_ gives a graphic picture of the moment of blessing the bread. "This is my body which is given for you," he said (Luke 22:19). "This do in remembrance of me." [Illustration: The Last Supper.] Plate 132. _The Last Supper._ Alexandra Bida. 1813-1895. Bida shows the bent figure of Judas retreating into the darkness. _Hofmann, Plate 130,_ continues the story. "And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many unto remission of sins." (Matt. 26:27-28.)
