John 3:19-21 (ANIV)
19 [Jesus continued] “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” [1]

[1]
Some interpreters end the quotation after John 3:15.

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Verse 2 informs us this scene takes place at night.

LIGHTING NOTES:
The bright 4 wick oil lamp held up by Jesus provides the illumination in this picture, casting shadows behind the figures.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
On the left is Jesus the Christ, on the right is the Pharisee Nicodemus.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene uses a similar background to “John 03 – Jesus and Nicodemus – Scene 04 – For God so loved…”. The same map, wooden door and wall plaster can be seen, although this scene looks up towards the flat, reed and wooden supported ceiling.

Jesus is holding up a 4 wick oil lamp as an illustration of his point regarding the light and darkness found in the world.

Here’s the scene without the figures in the picture.
