SpeakUI Demo on Dive Radio

The Hour at Hand
Read the story

The Hour at Hand is an oil painting based on the New Testament text Matthew 26:45. There Matthew describes how, after praying, Jesus approached the sleeping disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane:

Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners."

The hour of Jesus' betrayal had come.
