Jésus est retardé

Jesus stands among a gathered crowd on the road outside a village, holding the hand of a young messenger while Jairus, the synagogue leader, waits in formal robes. The scene reflects the tense pause in the Gospel account after Jairus pleads for his dying daughter and Jesus is delayed on the way to his house. Disciples and onlookers press close, while the road, trees, and distant town place the moment in the open countryside of Galilee.

The image points to the faith-testing delay in Mark 5 and Luke 8, where news comes that Jairus’s daughter has died. Jesus answers the crisis with the command, “Do not fear, only believe,” showing that His authority is not limited by time, sickness, or death. This artwork is suited for teaching on faith, healing, divine timing, children’s ministry, and the compassion of Christ in moments of urgent need.
