Elisha refusing the gifts of Naaman
oil on canvas (151 × 249 cm) — 1661
This work is linked to 2 Kings 5:15
| (왕하 5:15) | ○나아만이 모든 군대와 함께 하나님의 사람에게로 도로 와서 그의 앞에 서서 이르되 내가 이제 이스라엘 외에는 온 천하에 신이 없는 줄을 아나이다 청하건대 당신의 종에게서 예물을 받으소서 하니 |
Naaman was a Syrian warlord, who suffered from a nasty skin condition, probably leprosy. An Israelite maid he had captured advised him to see the prophet Elisha. Naaman traveled to Samaria, where Elisha told him to take seven dips in the river Jordan.
The baths cured Naaman. He then praised the lord of Israel as the only true god. He wanted to thank Elisha by giving him presents, but Elisha refused.
The man standing in the door to the right is Elisha's servant Gehazi. After Naaman departed, Gehazi ran after him and asked him for gifts. When he returned home, Elisha found out and punished Gehazi with leprosy for his greed.
Bol was commissioned by the masters of the Amsterdam leper home. They probably considered themselves as unselfish as Elisha was.
Francisco Collantes 1599 – 1656
The Vision of Ezekiel
oil on canvas (177 × 205 cm) — 1630
This work is linked to Ezekiel 37:7
| (겔 37:7) | ○이에 내가 명령을 따라 대언하니 대언할 때에 소리가 나고 움직이며 이 뼈, 저 뼈가 들어 맞아 뼈들이 서로 연결되더라 |
In a vision the prophet Ezekiel is taken to a valley filled with human bones. God brings the dead back to life: the bones are joined, nerves and meat added, and covered in a skin. Ezekiel sees to it that the bodies are filled with a spirit too.
The vision should be seen as a prediction of the resurrection of Israel. Ezekiel lived during the Babylonian exile: the people of Israel needed messages of hope.
After the bones were brought back to life, God instructs Ezekiel to make sure that the people now stick to the Biblical laws.
Arent de Gelder 1645 – 1727
Simeon and Anna Praise the infant Jesus
oil on canvas (94 × 107 cm) — c. 1700
This work is linked to Luke 2:25
| (눅 2:25) | 예루살렘에 시므온이라 하는 사람이 있으니 이 사람은 의롭고 경건하여 이스라엘의 위로를 기다리는 자라 성령이 그 위에 계시더라 |
Also known as [em]Simeon's Canticle[/em].
The Holy Ghost tells the devout Simeon that he will not die before seeing the Messiah. When Jesus' parents bring their child to temple, the Holy Ghost leads Simeon there as well, where Simeon recognizes the Redeemer in the infant.
Anna (or Hanna), a prophetess living in the temple, joins Simeon in his praise of the infant.
Arent de Gelder's teacher Rembrandt made a similar painting, just before he died in 1669.

Deborah was a judge, one who would lead the fight against the enemies of Israel when necessary. In her case, the Canaanites needed to be beaten once again. Deborah called on army commander Barak to go to battle but prophesized that no he, but a woman would finish off the enemy leader. The prophecy came true when Jael, wife of Cheber, struck him with a nail of the tent.

Ezekiel was the third great prophet of Israel, usually ranking after Isaiah and Jeremiah. He was active during the Babylonian Exile, a turbulent episode in Jewish history. His life and works are collected in the book of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel's Vision
oil on panel (41 × 29 cm) — ca. 1518
This work is linked to Ezekiel 1:25
| (겔 1:25) | 그 머리 위에 있는 궁창 위에서부터 음성이 나더라 그 생물이 설 때에 그 날개를 내렸더라 |
In a vision the prophet Ezekiel sees "the appearance of a man" sitting on a throne shaped by four creatures. The creatures have different faces: that of a man, an ox, a lion and an eagle. The "appearance" speaks to Ezekiel, who realises that it is God himself who speaks to him.
Ezekiel is the tiny figure standing in the beam of light in the bottom left.
St Hieronymus, a father of the church who lived from 347 until 420 AD, used the four creatures as symbols for the four evangelists. Man was the symbol for Matthew, the lion for Mark, the ox for Luke and the eagle for John.
French troops robbed the panel in 1799 and took it from Florence to Paris. After Napoleon's defeat it was returned to Florence in 1816. It now still is in the Galleria Palatina of the Palazzo Pitti.
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn 1606 – 1669
Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem
oil on panel (58 × 46 cm) — 1630
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn biography
This work is linked to Jeremiah 39:2
| (렘 39:2) | 시드기야의 제십일년 넷째 달 아홉째 날에 성이 함락되니라 예루살렘이 함락되매 렘52:7 |
Despite the warnings in his prophecies, Jeremiah has to witness the fall of his beloved Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar's troops set the city on fire. In the distance to the left Zedekiah can be seen, holding his fists before his eyes. Zedekiah was the last king of Judah and was made blind by the soldiers.
Jeremiah sees it all in sorrow. His figure is lighted beautifully, with his elbow leaning on a book with the side text Bibel. Michelangelo depicted the prophet in a similar position.
Rembrandt made this painting while in Leiden, before moving to Amsterdam in 1631. He then often used the blunt end of his brush to cut and carve in the paint.

Simeon's Prophecy to Mary
oil on panel (55 × 44 cm) — 1628
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn biography
This work is linked to Luke 2:34
| (눅 2:34) | 시므온이 그들에게 축복하고 그의 어머니 마리아에게 말하여 이르되 보라 이는 이스라엘 중 많은 사람을 패하거나 흥하게 하며 비방을 받는 표적이 되기 위하여 세움을 받았고 |
Mary and Joseph seem surprised when Simeon tells them that their son's actions will lead to the fall and rise of many in Israel. The prophet Anna raises her hands to indicate that she also considers the boy the Messias.
This is one of Rembrandt's earliest known works. He made at least two more paintings with Simeon: in 1631 and in 1669.
