...bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous...
...week.* Hall Caine was not much impressed by gospel accounts of the Virgin Birth, by some of Christ's miracles, nor by all the recorded circumstances of the Resurrection. Some of his observations sound as though written from a British club window. Of 'Jesus changing water into wine at Cana he fumed: "A perfectly shocking story: I simply do not believe it."

...resembles a painting by Caravaggio, which Vermeer could only have seen in Rome as a young man. This and the head of Christ which is evidently based on the head in Leonardo da Vinci's famed Last Supper are strong evidences that Vermeer studied in Italy. The wine-jug, the girl in the background, and the young man who posed for both the male disciples were all used in well-known later paintings. Characteristic of Vermeer are the stiffly-painted garments and the delicate colors, lemon yellow and pearl grey, setting off the deep blue of Christ...
