The Gospel reading for Wednesday in Holy Week is the entirety of Luke 22. Among the topics is the evangelist’s account of Christ’s prophecy of the betrayal of St, Peter (Luke 22:31-34) and its fulfillment (Luke 22:54-62). I have chosen a Western Church visual interpretation, in this case one of several watercolors by James Tissot. Tissot conducted extensive research in the Holy Land, focusing on clothing, architectural detail, visiting the locations where the events described took place. The Brooklyn Museum purchased the entire collection in the late 19th C. and later entered the images into the public domain. This particular image is: 00.159.246_PS2.jpg.
