Sûrement pas, j’ai

Jesus speaks with Peter and another disciple beneath the night sky, as Peter gestures toward himself in alarm and protest. The moonlit setting and troubled expressions point to the solemn hours after the Last Supper, when Jesus foretold that Peter would deny Him before the rooster crowed. Peter’s raised hand and anxious face capture the human confidence that insists on loyalty, while Christ’s open hands reveal patient truth and sovereign foreknowledge. This artwork is suited for Holy Week teaching, sermons on discipleship, repentance, spiritual weakness, and the mercy of Christ toward failing followers.
