Jesus Holds Up a Coin Before His Questioners

Prompt

Luke 20: "Render unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's." In a sunlit colonnade of the temple courts, Jesus, large and central, holds up a small silver Roman denarius between his fingers, showing it to two sly spies and a scribe who lean in to look, their faces caught off guard; the coin shows only a tiny worn profile head. Pale limestone columns and warm golden light behind. Calm wisdom against cunning questions. The spies and the scribe wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
